Gholam with his mother Bibi Zara and Ayon Bibi. In 1990 Gholam lost his eye sight during the war. A landmine exploded and he became blind. He was the head of the household consisting of sixteen persons. Gholam shared the house with his brother Zaffar who had left the village to find work or food. During the spring two of Zaffar's daughters died. "They weren't ill. They died of hunger", Gholam said. "It is better to die than to live under these circumstances. We have no life left. If possible, we would go to a developed country like Pakistan or Iran. Here, nothing is possible and it is unsafe because of the war".
