Through a Child’s Eyes: UXO’s Deadly Toll on Afghan Children
Unexploded ordnance (UXO) continues to kill and maim children across Afghanistan.
Laurentia Jora, World Vision’s Strategic Communications Manager, takes you inside the home of a family in Qarchiqai, Qadis district, Badghis province, who lost two sons to these deadly remnants of war.
Eight-year-old Jamaluddin, cousin to the two killed boys and survivor, watched as his closest friends were killed by unexploded ordnance right before his eyes.
