  remained a priority, in line with the Action for Peacekeeping commitments. A total of 
  
  158 incidents against United Nations personnel and facilities were recorded, 
  
  including 12 incidents related to armed conflict, 50 to crime, 81 to civil unrest and 15 
  
  to hazards. Of the personnel affected, 14 were international staff (9 men and 5 women) 
  
  and 25 national staff (20 men and 5 women). This represents a 107.8 per cent increase 
  
  from the 76 incidents recorded in the previous reporting period. The increase in the 
  
  number of incidents could be attributed to the socioeconomic impact of COVID -19 
  
  on the local population, which resulted in increased incidents of criminality and civil 
  
  unrest. All cases were referred to the judicial authorities, and MONUSCO is 
  
  supporting relevant investigations and trials.
