The International Committee of the Red Cross Orthopedic Centre in Kabul is where victims of war and the disabled are fitted with artificial limbs, hand-made on the compound. Many are people who have lost one or both legs to landmines. Others have been attacked by coalition force helicopters. It is a place both disturbing and uplifting for its lost dreams and hope for the future. In this image, two women who are missing legs are fitted with artificial limbs.
