Statement: International Assistance Mission in Afghanistan

8 August 2010. Médecins Sans Frontières is shocked by the killing of a medical team from the humanitarian organisation 'International Assistance Mission' (IAM) in Badakhshan, Afghanistan. This can only detrimentally affect and undermine the work carried out by the medical community in the country, and the Afghan people relying heavily on this much needed assistance. Our thoughts are with the families of the victims and our colleagues at IAM.
