At a Kabul hospital, wave after wave of victims arrive. And on the pavement outside, a mother mourns for her lost son. "My heart is broken," she cries. Desperate and in despair, more gathered for news of missing family and friends. For many, a day of Muslim mourning became a day of terrible loss. The Taliban issued a statement saying they didn't carry out this attack. The Afghan government says they are lying. But whoever is responsible, it's brought a new kind of suffering to this already fractured country.
在喀布尔的一家医院,受害者一波接着一波的到来。外面人行道上,一位母亲哀悼失去的儿子,她哭道,“我的心都碎了”。许多人焦急绝望,更多的人聚集过来打听失踪家属和朋友的消息。对于许多人来说,这个穆斯林哀悼日成了见证极大损失的一天,塔利班发表声明称,他们没有发动此次袭击。阿富汗政府称他们在撒谎,但不管谁应负责,对于这个千疮百孔的国家来说,这又是一次新的痛苦。
