Aug 30, 20211:17Now PlayingThe United Nations says 10 million children are in desperate need of assistance in Afghanistan.
"Unfortunately, those least responsible for this crisis are paying the highest price," said Herve Ludovic De Lys, UNICEF's Afghanistan representative.
De Lys said the welfare of children in the country is the relief agency's highest priority: "The events of last week amplified the imperative of protecting the most vulnerable children."
De Lys' comments follow a U.S. airstrike Saturday that it said killed two IS members
While the Taliban said the strike killed at least 10 people — including civilians and three children – De Lys said his agency is aware of seven children killed.
De Lys said UNICEF is in conversation with the Taliban and was told that the education of young girls will not be interrupted.
The representative also said the agency is working to reunite 69 children with their parents.
