The Air Strike Survivor

Tahira’s home was bombed in the early morning while she was preparing for prayers. After the explosion she got up and ran to where her husband and 15 old son were sleeping and found the room no longer existed. She and one of her surviving sons worked to bring their bodies from the rubble, but were unable until they received help from people in their neighborhood.

I pictured her in 2008 while I was working for Jason P. Howe a British photojournalist in Kabul. Portion of this information courtesy of Our Bombs website that funded the project. You can got to their website and see some more picture. I might upload some photos related to the same subject but of course dissimilar to what you see on Our Bombs’ website. Portion of information will match up the Our Bobms’ and I am confidently use their caption because I have talked to Jason and he agreed.
