Local sources told Hasht-e Subh that among the displaced families, there were three infants, one of whom has been died on Saturday morning (July 2nd) due to the lack of health facilities.
The residents of Sar-e-Pul province, especially in Balkhab, say that the violent behavior of the Taliban has caused the locals to flee to the mountains.
