Violence persists in areas such as Sangina, Sadda, Balishkhel, and Khar Kallay, with eight more lives lost and 13 injured in the past 24 hours alone. The clashes erupted after a deadly attack on a passenger convoy on November 21, leading to a death toll that now stands at 110, with over 150 injured.
A Community in CrisisThe continued closure of the Peshawar-Parachinar highway has disrupted the supply chain, and trade at the Kharlachi border with Afghanistan remains suspended. Internet and mobile phone services have been cut off, deepening the isolation of the region. Schools have been shut for a week due to fuel shortages and insecurity, according to Muhammad Hayat Khan, Chairman of the Private Education Network.
