KABUL (SW): After each explosion, the municipality employees are required to clean the area, however, what they saw while cleaning the area after the recent explosion in Kabul is shocking.
In conversation with Salam Watandar, the employees of Kabul Municipality described the scenes as "horrendous" and "disturbing".
They said that collecting the pieces of human body and cleaning the victims’ blood had a bad psychological effect on them
Rafi, one of the municipality’s staff who was tasked with his other colleagues to clean up the area after the bloody attack on Saturday in Kabul, with tears in his eyes, emotionally said that after the incident, they gathered the pieces of the victims’ bodies in a plastic bag, which was very traumatizing for him. According to him, no one is feeling safe in Kabul nowadays.
Abdul Baes and Mohmand, two other employees of Kabul Municipality who cleaned up the area after the suicide explosion on Saturday, told Salam Watandar that collecting the pieces of victims’ bodies and cleaning up the areas after explosions have been almost a routine work for them, although it is never easy.
They said many of the municipality workers are not able to work by seeing the limbs and blood of victims, however, they do it because it is their job. The traumatized municipality workers also face sleeping and eating disorders.
The recent terrorist attacks in Kabul have also disrupted other citizens' peace of mind, and they urge the government to take serious steps to provide them security.
The recent attack on Saturday in front of the Jamhoriat Hospital in Kabul injured more than 235 and killed 103 people, of whom 40 are still unidentified.
