Afghanistan 20 years on: endless suffering, startling resilience
This retrospective marks the 20th anniversary of the ICRC’s permanent presence in Afghanistan. It is meant to serve as a record of the unbearable suffering inflicted upon the Afghan people by 28 years of miserable war and as a tribute to their resilience.

Women reading brochures on mine awareness in Kabul − Together with the ARCS, the ICRC promotes safe behaviour through mine risk education sessions with communities at risk. It also supports the objective of the ARCS of preventing injuries and fatalities caused by mines and explosive remnants of war (ERW) by gathering information on the cause of accidents and the location of mines and ERW. This information is shared with de-mining agencies.
