The BBC has said in a report that extreme poverty, unemployment and hunger have forced some families in Afghanistan into difficult decisions, including selling their young daughters for marriage.

Taliban officials in Nangarhar say that three members of one family have been killed and one child injured after the roof of a house collapsed in Achin district of the province.

The United Nations said in a new report that the Taliban’s continued restrictions on women and girls have further weakened Afghanistan’s economy and labour force.

Local sources have reported the discovery of the bodies of three women in Kabul and Kandahar.
