UN: Shameful rise in Afghan child deaths and injuries
Kabul - MENA

More Afghan children were killed or injured in the first half of this year than in any six-month period since 2009, said the UN.

The report's authors said the toll was "alarming and shameful", and that history would judge leaders on all sides on their response, the BBC reported on Monday.

A total of 1,601 civilians deaths were recorded among all ages between January and June, of which 388 were children.

In the latest attack, 80 people died in a huge bomb blast in Kabul on Saturday.

Militants from Daesh said they had carried out the attack, which targeted a march by members of the Hazara minority, a Shia Muslim people reviled by Daesh.

The report added that 63,934 civilians killed or injured by violence since the UN began keeping a count in January 2009, including 22,941 death.

As many as 1,601 civilians killed between January and June this year, of which 388 were children and 130 women.

Up to 3,565 civilians injured in the same period, including 1,121 children and 377 women.
