ICRC surgical team operating on war-wounded in a Kabul hospital supported by the organization − The ICRC is one of the only humanitarian actors that has maintained a continuous presence in Afghanistan throughout the four successive conflicts of the last 28 years. It remains committed to assisting the beleaguered Afghan population. While some field movements are restricted for security reasons, the ICRC continues to support medical structures in the south and east, in particular where increasing numbers of war-wounded are treated.
