help use of the game but it won't be easy. i was going to him out there that are already there was i'm other than are we are these are mother these i want his legs are a mangled mess but she's more worried about the scars she can't see the child is very sad because. father tyler they walk and they and i. but he's always that thing on the wheelchair. things maybe you know i walk. home. despite his injuries yousif is very lucky outside we meet his 16 year old isra who'd lost his leg in the same accident. he knew so for waiting for a bus home from the market when a speeding car plowed into them when he came when you know i was in a room. the driver tried to break but the car started flipping us over what

you saw a voice hit and went flying into the ditch i'm awkward to all of the marches on doesn't look good and i was pulled below the car and my leg went under the wheels still in your mother's car. but on the question when i tried to pull it i saw blood pouring out it was everywhere all over my clothes i started screaming my leg humping my leg. is translate was completely severed but his worst fee is we feed you so if you support our kid you so forcing the children's hospital and he went into a coma for $6.00 days the exam there was only a 5 percent chance that he'd survive it. are you positive i was crying a lot for you sign out or no i thought he was definitely gonna. my family started

to bring me pictures of him every day to prove that he was still alive 3 acuminata . ever since there is trouble hasn't taken his eyes off his nephew on. august. use of small souls are so weak that he's going to need leg braces to help him stand guys that are the same people get. to do what she does either but only got your cheek i got to be a watch until the arm under his arm on the ballot. recount band over and over and over to walk back to. the recovery is going to be even tougher he needs a whole new press that he call a. brother moment the older brother or brother the bully got. the ability.

or. oh how about a mom out on her chauffeur because our mom when are measurable by the amount of what. my father got to give him a walker what about a van we're going to be around us very fast right. now where you surf and it's rather head higher but the work for these technicians is just beginning. over the next few days they will painstakingly mold the new leg braces and christie says for the boys devices that will change their lives. in the sushi years that this program has been operating in afghanistan they have made nearly 200000 artificial limbs and treated almost 180000 disabled patients. will be on i must say the only place they can get help is here

at this red cross center but i haven't seen another place that provides this kind of research. nobody knows how my life changing. this work is better than kareem up. there made that claim i've had this leg for about 20 years i've never asked for a new one because i'm used to that. a patient surprised when you tell them that you have a prosthetic leg what him up why when my legs are covered and nobody notices anything when i show them my leg that totally surprised but they don't believe that was an artificial leg that they can walk normally my father mccormack them but then i show them i tell them see my leg is artificial but i still come here and work on it. first came to the red cross as a 13 year old patient at the time kabul was engulfed in

a deadly civil war she was shot in the leg 4 times while walking home from her grandmother's house as a minute. when i regained consciousness my leg felt very light i tried to feel it but i realized it had been cut off the sugar will be here and when a woman becomes disabled she becomes invisible people think she can't do anything while at work it was hard for me to accept this situation. i couldn't accept that i could have killed myself on the whole she was. instead the red cross offered to train her as a physio therapist when she finished high school that was almost 25 years ago since then she has helped thousands of patients just like her. because i'm disabled myself i understand their situation and i mean whatever they're going through i've already been through it. i only have. been.

in the. well. the same time has a policy of hiring people with some kind of disability just like their patients some of the staff have been crippled by in the says like polio many like a victims of the country's relentless war. for as long as i can remember that has been fighting in afghanistan and it will never end. the day by day the number of our patients is growing it's because of the war landmine attacks. 'd are not. even by afghanistan's grim standards the

situation here is becoming increasingly deadly a record number of civilians were killed and injured in 2018 in attacks by the taliban isis and pro-government forces some of the most brutal violence has accrued right here in kabul. with incidents like rockets and bombs on. we've seen a lot of these horrible incidents it's been hot but we've gotten used to it and. through good old the taliban has allowed the great cross to stay open. a month after they took power the taliban came to our center they visit at the mail and. they were satisfied with our work and we carried on without problems.

but in afghanistan nothing is guaranteed. days into our visit we hear about a disturbing development the taliban have just announced a spring offensive against the afghan government in the military so what this means is that we're likely to see a lot more attacks but they're also saying here that the red cross will no longer be protected this is a really serious problem for the star and the patients at the center. it's not long before the news spreads are going to be more interest for you to remember even though the senate is. in the women's department crema is also briefing they get you michelle almost and i was going to. give them freedom sometimes on anything but the. closer they know the memories are that the divine will have not done that for a long. time left. you guys worried at all about your safety and i wish i'm on

the journey on the understanding. that a moment or. the humbling but it might call really well that it was. one of the shots that. one of the staff he is seaman faced i'm struggling to understand why the taliban would ban the work of a humanitarian organization especially one that helps disabled afghans. it's too risky for us to ask the taliban in person so we called a spokesman you recently revoked the security guarantees for the red cross why did the taliban decide to do that. says the red cross has failed to deliver the medicine and services it had promised

the red cross says they can't respond because they're still negotiating with the taliban. and what we do know is that the organization supports clinics across afghanistan in areas where it's difficult to access any of the health care most of the people that work at the red cross and certainly all of the patients are afghans including members of the taliban and your families are you hurting your own people by taking this step i mean i don't. want to. go. but just weeks after this phone call the taliban did attack an american aid organization in kabul killing at least 5 people all of them afghans. back at the red cross

there's no sign of things flowing down the need is simply too great afghanistan has one of the highest rates of disability in the world in 2018 a record 12000 people sought help from the several rehabilitation centers across the country. people like isra and use if you can't afford private treatment. you know for 1. 100 you want to. know what this you know. it's a big day for the boys they're about to try on the new devices for the 1st time. they pretty excited and they're not the only ones. this little boy has just been given his ulick and he could hardly wait to users.

it's not long before the technician arrives with its rest prosthetic issue enough to be. connected to the man out of the books were another variable. even now he can't help but to use his nephew in the family i want. but it's not all fun and games physiotherapists should be rock wants is struck that this is just the food stamp boy. go now because for them a short term of that only if you're. john i initiate kilmore have him nearly as much as a kid mel brought afghanistan we couldn't be sure to have been taught but on him brought us down into serbia on it's not only the rehabilitation of a missing limb we have to support him psychologically we have to change his mind.

just accept him he has to be ready for the future she has treated thousands of patients like is struck he tells him the secret to his recovery is his mind why he should work beautifully could knock her off and i mean to me to me from a kid as much as a robot because the. mom must be quite accustomed. to her point out of what sort of wonderful music and money you make out of the beginning i am a shack 0.0 point toward us. by humans would miss corke more pointed at the meetings in the hope that this make. it to a nice one with the pallone make of the middle of paul only the middle of the pit the hottest one is in the hospital for lack of any 24 cuts in that this is his mo tooth it's a choice that sugar love faced himself he's ago when he was just 17 he stepped on a land mine my group was born to my face was born i left my leg. there

was nothing to say if there was no flash new tissue on their blood i lost my my hope ali thought i was not very violent to be too alive anymore because i was seeing very dark my future very dark he says the only thing that saved team was this job and the chance to help patients like is all that you make me. me want to get. off it bust out a couple of nothing to say if there was no flash would push you on their board i lost my my hope ali thought i was not very violent to be to live anymore because i was seeing very dark my future very dark he says the only thing that saved him was this job and the chance to help patients like is all that you make me. want to

get. off at. bust a cap on the my family sometimes they forget i'm a busybody which i'm happy because they should not come through the me of the visible people they sure can see the table. this resilience is what he's trying to pass on to instruct it to flaca me got a poisonous offer get. passed on. to trying to motivate a traumatized 6 year old is another matter of fact i'm told i'm i'm a bit. off to not using his legs for 6 months use if is struggling to stand that alone or. 'd karim is patient yourself as moment right.

at the bottom. but no rational what use of says she keeps pushing him. he has to use his legs to make them strong again. ok that. i suppose. by size of them with. it's been a tough 1st day. getting used to this new reality isn't easy especially for. just a few months ago he was a confident teenager and a champion wrestler but then his father died of cancer and a month later he lost his leg in the accident but.

our life has changed a lot more we've become. sure we've lost the head of our family. i used to go out with my friend in the moment i was the strongest amongst them. now i'm the weakest moments of life for them it makes me feel so bad he was one of the rugby. cricket i think about what i'll do in the future will i be a burden will i work as a laborer pushing a wheelbarrow. as i can't even push a wheelbarrow. instead of worrying about school or his next wrestling match it's run now worries about his family. the while ago i want to work to feed my family all of them and i don't want to baghdad anyone for help we have the so it's very difficult one i'm fed up with my life.

is straw doesn't talk to his family about any of this instead he focuses on helping you so if. well being on one. of the of the other hand are going to be hard to imagine when of the low pay really going to have them on the most to get public you know want to run again. is strong has brought his nephews and nieces to the park is a trees it's a welcome distraction for everyone of good babbling about yusef has changed a lot most of what he used to play with all the kids but he thought anymore he's become quiet and he cries a lot. he asks me why can't i walk why can't you take me out. along. yard to very much like me. that you would want to go out on. with. yousif is still young

so his chances of a full recovery a good but it says his own future is going to be very different to wash he'd imagine. the other day this guy came up and sent us to learn are you a cripple. to want as long clinician i can get my old life back but you'll all started your life. i'll continue my education and get a job that's a. day off today i watch as truck come to the orthopedic center and practice house for war. it's a slow painful process she's can get the name that i have seen her to doesn't hold up well and doesn't mean just looking yes to make very sure it's there but what went on in western now we've learned about now for every report about you know just

. alberto cairo is the italian physiotherapist who has run the center for 30 years he and should work hand in hand to make sure die. he's on the right path. blanket with him. but no matter how difficult it is there are others here who are much worse off than is struck. he says seeing big progress and spies here to work harder. next stall you surf is also struggling. never. just look i want. but after almost a week of practice both the boys are getting stronger and faster so this recession . with giving wrigley. gimmickry here it is.

finally the day has come when they can take the new prosthetic and leg braces home . last me going to. gather together what i could have to. buy they accept. yourself and was meeting with me she. should let me see that i'm a big business any hole boy thought nobody calls the one i gave us the one of. these how we do the money well that's what they say. that was with the most ringback. but it was one of the. basketball. is also getting some parting advice from should have been is in the get the modem want it on over to us you know that out of columbia one boy i did i wanted to get us to look at more cool market machine. wants to join the send his wheelchair

basketball team and apply for the red cross' education program it's not only the mark of slowly working with a.c.s. who i feel that i am helping the people is like me i help at least clear for 5 people i've changed at least one of them their life to be like that in the future so that is why i stayed longer with atheists here and i live my life which are. across town istra and use of family is waiting for them everyone is curious about the prosthesis. or he lost. to me. or all the. usaf is also thrilled with his braces although not for the reason you'd imagine. he was one of the lads.

who. want to see these cousins play and tease each other you'd never guess how much they've been true. poverty pain and the death of a family member. the future is still very much on sir but now at least there's hope. stories of abuse in aged care homes in the west to shock the world but there's no alternative when no one is makes those sending elderly loved ones to thailand to live out their deaths on al-jazeera.

every generation has a higher purpose. ours is just stay out of. the us coronavirus death toll now exceeds the number of american lives lost during the vietnam war. all across the u.k. people have fallen silent in tribute to health workers who died.

of malcolm i'm peter w. watching al jazeera live from doha also coming up. violence flares again in lebanon where covert 19 is pushing the.
