Kunduz was previously considered one of the more stable provinces affected by the ongoing conflict in Afghanistan. Fighting has increased significantly in the northern province, however, since 2014. Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) provides surgical care for trauma patients, including 7-year old Feroz and his father.
