"AFGHANISTAN: THE WAR WOUNDED"

Bibi Adela, age 15, from Khost grimices in pain getting her wound treated on her amputated leg at the International Red Cross Orthopedic (ICRC) rehabilitation center November 23, 2009 Kabul, Afghanistan. Bibi Adela lost her leg below the knee from a rocket attack 5 months ago that killed her sister and brother, injuring her mother as well. 2009 was the deadliest year in terms of civilian casualties in Afghanistan ever since the start of the U.S.-led war against Taliban in the country. The Taliban are now staging suicide attacks and IED blasts in densely populated areas to create a bigger impact as more of Afghan's war wounded hit the headlines. Relations between Afghans and the American and NATO forces have become more fragile with every passing day.
