Tetsu Nakamura, a doctor working on humanitarian assistance in Afghanistan, held a memorial service in Fukuoka City, where he has a connection, two years before he died after being shot locally.
Dr. Tetsu Nakamura, a local representative of Fukuoka City's NGO "Peshawar-kai", has been working on medical support and agricultural land regeneration in Afghanistan for many years, but on December 4, he was shot locally and was 73 years old. Died in.
Two years ago, a memorial service was held in Fukuoka City, and about 250 people including the bereaved families and Peshawar-kai officials attended.
After silently praying with everyone, Akiko, the eldest daughter on behalf of the bereaved family, said, "I feel lost because my father, who loved garden work, still wears a straw hat and is in the garden." And so on.
According to the Peshawar-kai, the support of the international community has been stagnant since the Islamist Taliban regained power in Afghanistan, and the humanitarian crisis such as food shortages has become more serious due to the effects of the drought.
Mr. Yu Murakami, Chairman of the Peshawar-kai, said, "The crisis of life is accelerating. We will continue our activities so that the lives of local people will continue."
