Families in Chamkani district of Paktia province who lost loved ones or had family members injured in Pakistan’s recent attacks say that the several thousand Afghanis in financial assistance provided by the Taliban cannot compensate for their profound grief and heavy losses.
The affected families stress that, rather than limited financial aid, serious and effective measures should be taken to prevent such incidents from recurring. They say that the death and injury of their family members have caused deep emotional wounds that cannot be healed or compensated for with money.
Relatives of the victims are calling on the relevant authorities to strengthen security measures along the border and take concrete steps to protect civilians, so that no other families are forced to endure similar tragedies.
Local residents also emphasize that the situation in the border areas must be closely monitored and that a sustainable policy should be developed and implemented to ensure the safety and protection of civilians.
