committee your organization have been made in afghanistan. how are those fragile gains protected moving forward especially with the u.s. and allied troops getting out? we are an organization 4,000 afghan villages and delivering food and health. how dangerous is that? very dangerous. we lost five of our staff in the western part of the country and every day we have extraordinarily determined afghans. this is afghan staff and not western staff. 99% afghan staff delivering that s much-needed services. they have real fear. the fear is that the pullout of western troops is going to be coupled with the end of any kind of western humanitarian aid and making life and death difference for the people that we serve, the basically civilians who have had not just war but 30 years of
