UN Confirms Death of Female Local Staff Member in Kabul

DID Press: UN Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) has confirmed the death of Fereshteh Amadi, a female employee of the United Nations Population Fund, in Kabul.

In a message published on X, UNAMA described Amadi as a valued member of the UNFPA family and said her loss represents a significant tragedy for her colleagues and the organization.

The United Nations has not released details regarding the cause or circumstances of her death.

However, reports circulating on social media and from local sources have linked Amadi’s death to a recent security-related incident in Afghanistan. These claims have not been independently verified, and UN officials have not commented on them.

UNFPA is a UN agency that focuses on reproductive health and protection services and provides healthcare and support programs in Afghanistan, particularly for women and girls.
