Online Vigil to Honor and Mourn the Lives Lost in the Kabul and Jalalabad Attacks

Women for Afghan Women (WAW) is deeply saddened and horrified by the attacks in Afghanistan, which targeted a funeral in Jalalabad and most recently, a maternity hospital in Kabul. On Monday, May 18, 3 pm EST, we held an online vigil to be in community and honor innocent lives lost during these attacks that included newborns, mothers, children, hospital workers, and grieving families. The staff and community here at WAW are doing three Khatm-al-Quran to pray for these victims, their families, and peace. Video by YouTube channel.
