More than 94,000 people have been displaced in eastern Afghanistan amid escalating clashes between Pakistani forces and the Taliban, the UN said on Friday, underscoring the growing toll on civilians along the border.
UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric said the fighting, including cross-border shelling and airstrikes, has hit some of the country’s most vulnerable regions, particularly in Khost, Kunar, Nangarhar, Paktia and Nuristan provinces.
