The civilian deaths in Afghanistan have hit a new high in the first half of 2017. 

According to the United Nations, some 1,600 were killed and over 3,500 injured with Kabul accounting for nearly 20 percent of the toll. Women and children in particular have been also victimized as 174 were women killed and 462 injured. Attacks by anti-government forces and the ground offensives by Afghan security forces were presented as leading causes of the human cost. The world body calls for immediate halt to the continued use of indiscriminate, disproportionate and illegal improvised explosive devices. Nearly 27,000 civilians have died and around 50,000 injured by the armed conflict in Afghanistan since January 2009.
