The IRC Expresses Sorrow at Loss of International Assistance Mission Aid Workers in Afghanistan

09 Aug 2010 - The International Rescue Committee expresses its deep sorrow at the tragic loss that the International Assistance Mission has suffered as a result of the cowardly murder of its Nuristan Eye Camp team. 

The attack on the team was an attack on the entire humanitarian community and indeed on the men, women and children of Afghanistan whom they selflessly served.  Those of us working to assist that nation’s people are especially pained by the enormity of the loss. 

Our heartfelt sympathy goes to the families and loved ones of those who died.
