The bank added that this initiative was financially supported by the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Centre through UNICEF-supported clinics.

According to the bank, these children received therapeutic food packages through these clinics over the past 12 months.

The report states that during this period, approximately 16,000 therapeutic food packages, valued at over $953,000, were distributed to these children in Kandahar.

The Islamic Development Bank explained in its report that the total number of children treated under this programme was 17,543, including 9,940 boys and 7,603 girls.

Recently, Doctors Without Borders also announced that last year it treated 10,400 children, and in the first four months of this year, 2,416 children with malnutrition under the age of five in Kandahar, Herat, and Helmand.

This organisation painted a grim picture of the situation of children in Afghanistan in its report, adding that unemployment and poverty among the people have led to children in families suffering from malnutrition.

Akbari added that the project to seal the shared border between Razavi Khorasan and Afghanistan spans 300 kilometres.

The military commander mentioned that the engineering groups entered the region in May and are expected to complete the project within three years.

On Tuesday, Akbari said that the necessary infrastructure for implementing this plan on the northeastern borders of the country has been provided using domestic resources.

Earlier, the president ordered three billion dollars to be allocated to the General Staff of the Armed Forces for border sealing projects.

During a meeting with the district chief of Taybad, this Iranian military official mentioned that the walls of this project would each be four metres high, 3.7 metres long, and 1.1 metres thick.

Mehdi Shirdel, the district chief of Taybad, stated that the security of the northeastern borders plays a significant role in Iran-Afghanistan relations and can pave the way for increased interactions between the two countries.

Recently, another Iranian military official stated that one of the main objectives of sealing the Iran-Afghanistan border is to prevent the illegal entry of Afghans into the country.

According to these sources, the individuals had apparently been detained for informing media outlets about the killing of Rustam Rahimi, a mosque cleric in the Shashpar area of Uruzgan.

Local residents stressed that the Taliban members are arresting people instead of finding and holding the perpetrators of the murder accountable.

Sources confirmed that on Sunday afternoon, the Taliban members arrested Rohullah Hosseini, Taher Moradi, Mistari Dawood, Zia, and Farzad. The identities of the other three individuals have not yet been determined.

Local residents told Afghanistan International on Saturday that two unknown individuals invited Rustam Rahimi to the mosque and killed him with knives.
Some media reports indicated that "individuals in Taliban uniforms" carried out the murder.

The motive and reason behind this killing remain unclear, and the Taliban have not commented on the murder of this Hazara cleric.

Residents of the Shashpar area said that this is the 21st murder in the area since the Taliban took control of Afghanistan.

The incident occurred last night in the border area district of Dir in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province.

In a statement on Monday, the Pakistani Army called on the Afghan Taliban to prevent militants from infiltrating Pakistan from Afghanistan.

The statement stressed that Pakistan expects Afghanistan to fulfil its commitments and prevent terrorists from using Afghan soil to carry out attacks in Pakistan.

Previously, the Pakistani Army referred to an attack by forces loyal to Hafiz Gul Bahadur, commander of the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan, in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, which resulted in the death of eight soldiers, stating that this group is based in Afghanistan.

The Pakistani Army has warned that it will take necessary actions against threats originating from Afghanistan.

In May, the Pakistani Army reported that it had killed 29 militants along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border.

he AFF claimed that four Taliban members had been killed and another individual had been injured in this attack.

This is the second attack by this group in the past two days. The Afghanistan Freedom Front also claimed on Monday that it had targeted the director of Taliban transportation in Baghlan province.

The Taliban has not yet commented on the AFF's latest attack. However, a local source said on Monday evening that an explosion occurred in Karte Sakhi.

The AFF has also released a video related to their attack on Taliban intelligence members. In this short video, flames from the explosion accompanied by a loud sound can be seen and heard.
