Red Cross: Afghan armed groups grow, threaten aid
None
The number of different armed groups is growing across Afghanistan, preventing even the Red Cross from accessing much of the country to deliver lifesaving care, an official with the aid organization said Wednesday.
The Red Cross has long been able to operate in even the most dangerous areas of Afghanistan because of a commitment to treat all comers and because of its ability to negotiate access with the Taliban or other insurgent groups. (AP)
