Afghanistan: armed conflict continues to exact a heavy toll
After more than twenty years of being in the country, the ICRC is still providing a range of services to those affected by armed conflict in Afghanistan. These include supporting medical facilities, providing emergency assistance materials, visiting detainees, putting families back in touch and educating children about the dangers of unexploded munitions.

Kabul, ICRC delegation. Since January 2008, the ICRC has enabled detainees to speak with their relatives via video-conference calls.

The ICRC helps families and detainees maintain contact with each other. The ICRC has set up a call centre on the premises of its delegation in Kabul and a similar centre has been created at Bagram. Each party to the call is able to see the other on a screen. Here, dozens of families from around the country have been able to speak to their loved ones.
