KABUL -- Children account for one-third of civilian casualties in Afghanistan's grinding conflict in the first three months of 2017 and are paying an increasingly high price in the fighting, a UN report said Thursday (April 27), AFP reported.
From January to March, 210 children were killed -- up 17% from the same period last year -- and 525 injured, out of a total of 2,181 civilian casualties (715 dead and 1,466 injured).
The overall casualty total is slightly down, by 4%, compared to the same period in 2016.
When Afghans get married, first they think about having many children. In my opinion, we Afghans should first look at the economic condition of our country and then look at our own economy to give birth to children. Every year, our country requests 70% of its consumption budget from foreign countries, which means that we are always a burden for the foreign countries. I myself made the mistake of giving birth to 7 children, while I am the only person who works. I have financial problems. I am not able to meet the basic needs of these 7 children. My economy required me to have a couple of children. So, in order to find food for these 5 children, I became dependent on other people, which caused me to suffer from psychological issues. Also, our government cannot meet the needs of so many children with the help of foreign countries. Most of our Afghan children die due to lack of attention to their health. In Afghanistan, it is not right for a public hospital to take serious care of children's health. From this point of view, majority of the children are lost. Economic condition of the people is weak. They cannot treat their children in private hospitals, while there is no treatment in the government hospitals. We Afghans should think about our country's economy and our own economy while giving birth to children, so that we would not turn to a burden for the society in the future. Children who do not have proper upbringing, they do not have good health, become the burden for the soc
