UN warning: on the verge of humanitarian crisis

　　The UN Humanitarian Coordinator in Afghanistan Ramiz Alakbarov recently pointed out that since the beginning of this year, the number of civilian casualties in Afghanistan has risen in the context of the withdrawal of international coalition forces.

　　Alakbarov also stated that due to the intensification of conflicts that began between April and May, “500,000 people have been displaced in the past three months, and the total will cause about 1 million people to be displaced when it lasts for six months.”

　　The Associated Press reported that some refugees had to temporarily stay on the fringe of the northern city of Mazar-e-Sharif, living in temporary camps in extremely poor conditions.

　　About 12-year-old Sakina was one of the refugees who were forced to flee. She has fled on foot with her family for 10 days. Prior to this, the invading Taliban had set fire to her school.

　　UNHCR spokesman Barochi said, “Afghanistan is on the verge of another humanitarian crisis. Failure to reach a peace agreement in Afghanistan and the increase in local violence will result in people having to flee to other places in the country or neighboring countries. "
