Kabul - A video of a happy boy with a prosthetic leg dancing to a tune while onlookers clap and laugh has proved popular with social media users in Afghanistan.
Roya Musawi, a spokeswoman for the International Committee of the Red Cross in Afghanistan, uploaded the video on Monday, saying the boy lost his leg to a landmine in his hometown. "What a lovely, cheerful and valiant boy," wrote Hameed Khatak, another user, adding that, "The practice of Landmines must now be stopped at once."
— Roya Musawi May 6, 2019 According to the ICRC, a record 22,000 artificial limbs and other orthopaedic devices were given to Afghan patients at the agency's rehabilitation centres across the country last year. The ICRC ceased most of its activities in Afghanistan following the withdrawal of protective guarantees by the Taliban on April 11.
