In 2022 , Afghans reported an average life satisfaction of 1.28 on a scale from 0 to 10 , a global, all-time low.

That is lower than life satisfaction scores recorded in more than 170 countries since 1946 .

Afghans also showed little hope for the future, when asked to imagine what their lives would be like in five years on the same scale.

In 2018 and 2019 , the U.S. and its allies killed more civilians than at any point in the war since at least 2006 .

Hundreds of civilians were killed in these strikes—40% of them children.

The Taliban regained control of Afghanistan in August 2021 , after President Biden announced that the US would withdraw from the country by the end of August 2022 .
