Afghanistan: Our Day in Kabul Ends by Counting the Victims

The constant activity at the hospital in Kabul is a clear signal of how the situation in Afghanistan is getting worse.

On Sunday morning, an attack on a voter registration centre caused dozens of deaths and over one hundred injuries.

We began to see smoke rising above the houses. A car bomb had exploded outside the stadium about a mile away from us.

On Saturday, Kabul was the target of another horrific attack.

Afghan President Ashraf Ghani awarded EMERGENCY the prize for their commitment to the victims of war in Afghanistan.

Two wounded taken to our hospital so far, one DOA.

On the 8th of March 2017, Darwood, aged 12, had been tending sheep just outside Mosul when he stepped on a landmine.

Ahad Abdulah, who is 10 years old, suffered facial injuries when a bomb landed near him.

Gathban Mahmood, 22, was about to graduate from high school when ISIS took control of Mosul.

Unfortunately, Ghofran and Akram have another thing in common: they both lost a leg to a bomb while they were playing in their homes.
