 My name is Arna Mef. I'm head of the ICRC office in Lashkarga, which is a town in the province of Helmand in southern Afghanistan. The conflict in Helmand is still very acute and volatile, with lots of IDs and casualties and fighting ongoing between the international forces and the armed opposition, the Taliban. What we try to do here is to help the people who flee their home after fighting to visit detainees in different prisons. So those who have to escape from their home because of fighting and come back the home is damaged or the cattle is destroyed and have lost everything will come to the ICRC and we can provide some emergency kits in order to sustain the household for a month before they can resettle somewhere else. When it comes to help family locate a missing relative, a beloved one, unfortunately sometimes the missing relative is dead and the ICRC when finding the mortar remains will help repatriate the body to the village in order to bury it close to the family according to Islamic standard in Afghanistan. Another aspect of family being separated by war is the number of arrests that are happening in the country linked to the conflict. The ICRC can facilitate contact between the families and the detainee wherever he is, either through red cross messages, letters or through sometimes video telephone conference or phone calls. We can see from the feedback we have from the population that our operations here do have an impact and are very much appreciated and beneficial to the population.
