33 people have been brought to our Surgical Centre so far. ‘Among them were six children. Another six patients arrived already dead,’ explains Dejan Panic, our coordinator in Kabul. ‘Barely a month ago, dozens of people were victims of an explosion during prayers in a Shiite mosque here in the city. Today’s explosion was also outside a mosque, right after the time of prayer, and claimed a greater number of victims, all civilians. There is no peace in Kabul.’
