Afghanistan:
Photographs by James Nachtwey:
Afghanistan has suffered from conflict and violence for three decades. Its economy and infrastructure are fragile, and many of its people are displaced. Today, fighting between armed groups with international forces is intensifying with mounting civilian casualties. Families struggle to survive as natural disasters compound their hardships, and with jobs scarce, subsistence farming is often the only thing that prevents starvation. Photographer James Nachtwey witnessed the damage done. |
