In one hospital in Khost in eastern Afghanistan, not far from the Pakistani border, MSF midwives and doctors have helped bring more than 100,000 babies into this world. With more than 60 new little bundles of joy being born every day, Khost is not only MSF’s busiest maternity, but also one of the busiest maternity wards in the whole world. Inside, taking photographs and videos is extremely restricted for cultural reasons, but the stories of this special ‘women caring for women’ project deserve to be shared. So we sent Aurélie Neyret, an incredibly talented illustrator to spend nine days immersed with the team in Khost – observing, sketching, and gathering stories of patients, family members and MSF staff. Aurélie is part of an association called The Ink Link, a non-profit network of illustrators, script writers, and colourists who partner with organisations to use illustration and comics for social causes. We are pleased to present to you the result of Aurélie's time with MSF: 'Hila: Born in Afghanistan'.
