Since the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan, more than 1,000 civilians were killed

Despite a notable decrease in overall casualties compared to previous years of war and insurgency, the United Nations announced on Tuesday that it has documented a significant number of civilians killed and injured in attacks since the Taliban assumed control of Afghanistan.

According to a recent report by the UN Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA), from mid-August 2021 to the end of May, there were 3,774 civilian casualties, including 1,095 fatalities, due to violence in the country.

In contrast, a previous UN report indicated 8,820 civilian casualties, with 3,035 deaths, in 2020 alone.

The Taliban seized control of Afghanistan in August 2021, coinciding with the final stages of the withdrawal of US and NATO troops after two decades of conflict, the Associated Press reported.
