Khartoum. ” 7 million people have been treated by Emergency since its inception in 1994. A worrying number that reflects a serious social tragedy”. Gino Strada, the founder of Emergency, the Italian association that provides free medical and surgical care to victims of war, landmines and poverty. Shortly after his return from a mission in Sudan, Gino Strada further states; “today the most affected areas are in Afghanistan and Iraq. In a few days it will be the 15th anniversary of the invasion of Afghanistan. The war continues, and every day we record a new deaths and wounded. The crazy logic of war. The light at the end of the tunnel is no where in sight”. (9Colonne)
