The IRC has suspended its work in Afghanistan (America)

That's the International Rescue Committee, and not the International Red Cross/Crescent, btw. I have never heard of them, here is how they describe what they do:

For more than 70 years, the International Rescue Committee has been a leader in humanitarian relief. We mobilize quickly, bringing sustained support to regions torn apart by violence and deprivation. We provide a fresh start in the U.S. for refugees.

And here is what has happened:

An aid group has suspended its work in Afghanistan - after 20 years - following the killing of three female aid workers in an ambush near Kabul.

British-Canadian Dr Jacqueline Kirk, Canadian Shirley Case and Nicole Dial, a Trinidadian-American, were shot with their Afghan driver Mohammad Aimal.

The International Rescue Committee (IRC) workers had been driving to the capital from Gardez in the south-east.

Aid workers in Afghanistan are often targets, with staff abducted or killed.

In Wednesday's attack, a second Afghan driver was seriously injured when unidentified gunmen fired on the group in Logar province.

The group's vehicle had been clearly marked with the IRC logo, Logar deputy police chief Abdul Majid Latifi told the AFP news agency.

Shooting aid workers....these people are animals.

It's awful, and they seem to be gaining the upper hand through their ability to terrorize.
