The security section of the report states that 2,947 security incidents were recorded from May 1 through the end of July, representing an 11 percent increase compared with the same period last year. Of these, 64 incidents affected UNAMA personnel.
The report also states that 399 civilians were killed or injured as a result of Pakistan’s attacks on Afghanistan between April 1 and the end of June.
Sadiq Shinwari, a military affairs analyst, said: “The United Nations should play a more active and impartial role in reducing tensions between Afghanistan and Pakistan and should also support the protection of civilian lives.”
In the report, the UN Secretary-General called on the Islamic Emirate authorities to take concrete steps to uphold Afghanistan’s international commitments and support human rights and fundamental freedoms. He also called on member states and participants in the Doha Process to maintain their collective commitment and continue principled and pragmatic engagement to support the Afghan people and facilitate the country’s reintegration into the international community.
Enayatullah Humam, a political affairs analyst, said: “The Islamic Emirate has sought to establish balanced relations with the region and interested countries, and we see that around 50 countries are practically engaging with the Islamic Emirate.”
In the humanitarian and health sectors, 13.8 million people are facing acute food insecurity, while 3.7 million children and 1.2 million pregnant and breastfeeding women are experiencing acute malnutrition. At the same time, funding shortages and the return of migrants have increased pressure, while nearly 150 health facilities have been closed or suspended operations.
The humanitarian, economic and health section of the UN Secretary-General’s report states that 13.8 million people are facing acute food insecurity; 3.7 million children and 1.2 million pregnant and breastfeeding women are experiencing acute malnutrition; 1.15 million Afghans have returned from Pakistan and Iran in nearly eight months; the 2026 humanitarian response plan has received only about 30 percent of the required funding; and nearly 150 health facilities were closed or suspended operations during the first six months of the year due to funding shortages.
Qutbuddin Yaqoubi, an economic affairs analyst, said: “Foreign governments or countries working in this area should separate their policies from those concerning the Afghan government so that they can assist Afghans in need based on humanitarian principles and not politicize their aid.”

The meeting will be held at 6:30 p.m. Kabul time, and Georgette Gagnon, Deputy Special Representative of the UN Secretary-General for Afghanistan and Officer-in-Charge of UNAMA, will brief Council members on the report.
