Afghanistan tragedy: public health and human suffering.

Dedicated to two young volunteers killed in a landmine clearing accident, this story of Afghanistan is just one among thousands of others that never leave its borders. To understand Afghanistan is to come to terms with the religious, racial and cultural faultlines that divide it. A 3 month medical placement provided insights rather than answers. An indomitable people through famine, war, firce winters and foreign intrusion, the Afghanis are set to continue their struggle into succeeding generations.
