Civilians affected by violence in Kunduz 


More than 100 families affected by recent fighting in the city of Kunduz in Afghanistan have received humanitarian assistance packages.

The effort was carried out as part of the Afghan Civilian Assistance Program, which provides support to those affected by conflict, mines and explosive remnants of war.

The UN and its partners helped with the distribution of the aid, which included a variety of food and non-food items such as water containers and bedding.

In late September through mid-October, Kunduz fell to the Taliban until pro-government forces regained control of the city. Nearly 290 civilians were killed due to the violence, with another 550 injured.

Since the Kunduz conflict, more than 500 affected families have received humanitarian aid, with more help planned for those impacted.
