The United Nations recorded an alarming 24 percent spike in conflict-related child casualties in Afghanistan and a three percent rise in total civilian casualties in 2016 compared to the year before.
The violence caused more than 11,400 civilian casualties, including around 3,500 deaths last year, according to the annual report by the U.N. Assistance Mission in Afghanistan, or UNAMA, released in Kabul Monday.
It attributed 61 percent of civilian deaths and injuries to anti-government elements, mainly the Taliban. UNAMA blamed pro-government forces for causing 24 percent of the casualties, saying it reflected a 46 percent increase compared to 2015.
The report could not ascertain responsibility for 10 percent of the casualties caused by the fighting, while the remaining five percent resulted mainly from explosive remnants of war.
The armed conflict in Afghanistan has claimed the lives of around 25,000 Afghan civilians and injured more than 45,000 since 2009, according to UNAMA.
联合国的记录显示,在阿富汗与冲突有关的儿童伤亡人数2016年激增24%,平民伤亡总数比上年增加3%。
根据联合国阿富汗援助团(联阿援助团)周一公布的年度报告,去年的暴力事件造成11 400多名平民伤亡,其中约3500人丧生。
报告指出,平民伤亡中有61%是反政府武装、主要是塔利班造成的。亲政府部队则应对24%的伤亡负责。联阿援助团说,这比2015年增加了46%。
报告无法明确在交战中伤亡的10%是哪一方造成的,剩下5%的伤亡是由战争遗留爆炸物造成的。
根据联阿援助团的资料,自2009年以来,阿富汗的武装冲突导致25000名平民丧生, 45000多人受伤。
