  • Country Profiles
    Global Coalition EDUCATION UNDER ATTACK 2020 GCPEA to Protect Education from Attack COUNTRY PROFILES AFGHANISTAN Attacks on education accelerated in Afghanistan during the reporting period. In 2018, a dramatic rise in attacks on schools occurred, almost half of which were associated with the use of educational facilities for voter registration and polling; polling-related attacks also occurred throughout the 2019 presidential elections process. Threats and attacks against students and education personnel also increased, particularly in areas of the country controlled by non-state armed groups. Context The 2017-2019 reporting period saw increased fighting between theAfghan government, international forces, and non- state armed groups, including the Taliban and the “Islamic State of Khorasan Province” (ISKP) in Afghanistan. In 2019, multiple peace talks between the United States and the Taliban took place in Qatar amidst ongoing fighting, however no peace deal was reached during the reporting period.238 Fighting between armed parties, along with targeted attacks by the Taliban and “ISKP”, caused substantial numbers of civilian casualties.239 In 2019, the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) recorded 3,403 civilian deaths and 6,989 civilian injuries – the lowest level of civilian casualties recorded since 2013.240 However, significant periods of violence occurred during the year; between July and September 2019, UNAMA recorded the highest number of civilian casualties in a single quarter since 2009.241 Violence particularly impacted young people in 2019, when the UN reported that children comprised 30 percent of all civilian causalities and 78 percent of all casualties from explosive remnants of war (ERW) and landmines.242 Rising insecurity appeared to have a negative effect on school attendance.

    Afghanistan: COVID-19 Multi-Sectoral Response Operational Situation Report 13 May 2020 This report is produced by OCHA Afghanistan in collaboration with humanitarian partners via clusters. It covers activities carried out between 4-11 May 2020. HIGHLIGHTS • Confirmed COVID-19 cases reached 5,226 people across all 34 provinces. 130 people have died and 652 recovered. • Since the start of the crisis, partners have delivered WASH assistance and hygiene promotion activities to more than 624,000 people and supported more than 4,559 children with home-based learning materials to ensure the continuity of education during the pandemic. • Protection partners in Kabul, Nangarhar, Hirat and Mazar-e- Sharif report an increase in child protection issues, such as child labour and early child marriage, as families resort to negative coping strategies to meet needs exacerbated by extended lockdowns. • Humanitarians have condemned the recent attack on Sad Bistar Hospital in Kabul and call for an immediate end to the targeting of health facilities, health staff and civilians seeking care. In a statement, the Humanitarian Coordinator said “It beggars belief that such a heinous act could be committed when Afghanistan is being ravaged by the COVID-19 Source: Afghanistan Ministry of Public Health (MoPH) The boundaries and names shown and the designations used on this map pandemic. Civilians receiving care in hospitals, health workers, do not imply official endorsement or acceptance by the United Nations. medical infrastructure and aid workers are protected under International Humanitarian Law; violations must be investigated and those behind the attacks brought to justice.” SITUATION OVERVIEW MoPH data shows that 5,226 people across all 34 provinces in Afghanistan have tested positive for COVID-19.

These elections were the first to be fully led and organised by the Afghanistan Independent Election Commission (IEC) and the Afghan National Security Forces (ANSF) took the lead in providing security for the elections. It was also the first time that arrangements were made for prisoners and hospitalised citizens, to cast their votes. The steady increase of security-related incidents by Anti-Government Elements (AGEs) was a dominant factor in the preparation and holding of the elections. Despite commendable efforts from the ANSF, insecurity had a bearing on the decision of Afghans to participate in the elections Polling day recorded the highest number of attacks and other forms of intimidation for some 15 years.
