"Faqiri rushed to the rehabilitation center after the airstrike, but could not find his brother among the survivors. He spent the next two days visiting hospitals in Kabul, but there was no sign of Qais."
"By chance, he saw a video of a mass burial by the authorities of the airstrike victims and spotted his brother. On Eid, he went to the hillside graveyard on the edge of Kabul, where the burial took place."
"Faqiri expressed his sorrow, stating, 'This is the saddest moment, for a person on Eid day to search for the body of his brother.' He has not yet had the heart to tell their mother."
A Pakistan airstrike in Kabul mistakenly targeted a rehabilitation center for drug addicts, leading to a high death toll. Sohrab Faqiri searched for his brother, Qais, who was a patient there. After failing to find him in hospitals, Faqiri discovered his brother's body among the victims in a mass burial. The attack occurred as patients were returning to their dormitories after prayers during Ramadan. The UN reports 143 deaths, while the Taliban claims over 400 fatalities, highlighting the tragedy of the incident.
