In Afghanistan, U.N. data shows over 26,000 children were killed or injured from 2005 to 2019. The figures were published in a new report by Save the Children, which warns Afghanistan is among the most dangerous countries in the world for children as a result of the ongoing war between the U.S.-backed Afghan government and the Taliban.
This comes as at least eight people were killed following a rocket attack in Kabul Saturday. The Islamic State has claimed responsibility for the attack.
