The watchdog called on the warring parties to stop fighting and announce a ceasefire. Lailuma, a resident of Kunduz city, was displaced due to fighting two months ago and lost her husband in the war. "We don’t have shelter, sometimes my children and I are hungry," said Lailuma. "I was displaced two months ago and lost everything," said Abdul Mutalib, a displaced person. "During one month's time, 32,284 families were displaced and this figure is shocking," said Benafsha Yaqoubi, a member of the AIHRC.
