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. World Vision Afghanistan and Save the Children warn that as funding for UXO clearance dries up, children – who make up 80% of casualties – are left increasingly vulnerable.

1000 students received de-worming tablets through school, they also are screened by a nutritionist and given medical attention where needed.
