The United Nations has expressed deep concern over the humanitarian impact of recent Pakistani strikes in Afghanistan, following reports from Afghan authorities that at least 36 people were killed in the attacks. In a statement, the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said the strikes have caused significant civilian suffering, with many families displaced and children facing severe psychological trauma. The agency urged all parties to respect international humanitarian law and take every precaution to protect civilians during military operations. The reported strikes come amid ongoing tensions between Pakistan and Afghanistan over cross-border security issues. The UN also called for unhindered humanitarian access to affected areas and emphasized the need to safeguard civilians as regional tensions continue to escalate.
