Afghans learn to live again after catastrophic war injuries

SIC Notícias9 September 2026 at 23:25

A Sky News correspondent, a partner television station of SIC, visited a prosthetic workshop in Helmand, Afghanistan. The report reflects on the lasting impact that decades of war have left on the local population, especially those who suffered catastrophic injuries.

At the workshop, Afghans learn to live again after losing limbs due to conflicts. Many of these survivors face the daily challenge of rebuilding their lives with new prosthetics, in a country devastated by years of violence.

The Helmand region was one of the most intense combat zones during the international military presence in Afghanistan. War injuries have left deep scars not only physical but also psychological on local communities.

The visit by the Sky News correspondent allows the world to see how Afghans try to rebuild the future in a country still marked by the effects of war, seeking hope and adaptation through these rehabilitation workshops.

Green card and travel in the US: what to carry and how to act during a stop

In case of police or ICE encounters, the recommendation is to stay calm, not resist, remain silent, and request an attorney. The text also clarifies that the so-called "100-mile rule" near the border does not eliminate constitutional protections, and reinforces that each immigration case is unique, advising consultation with an immigration attorney before traveling when there are prior convictions or pending cases.
