Dear John,
I’m sure you will remember the shocking events in Afghanistan this August, as the Taliban retook power and families fled for their lives.
As a new humanitarian crisis was beginning, I was deployed there on mission and I have just returned from three difficult months where I saw with my own eyes the extremely dire situation that many Afghan families, including young children, women and older people, are in. And now, the coldest months of the year are starting. My colleagues and I are incredibly worried for the coming harsh winter. Across the country - from Kabul, down to Kandahar, and up to Kunduz - over 3.5 million of people are displaced. |
