Tim Hetherington SIERRA LEONE. Freetown. October, 2000. As a result of the civil war, many people were left with serious medical conditions. As well as the more common abuses of amputation, the fighters of the Revo
(...) lutionary Front (RUF) also terrorized people blind by cutting their eyes out. Others lost their eyes to shrapnel or as a result of being caught up in combat. Many simply lost their eyesight because they did not have access to a doctor and therefore a simple medical condition developed went untreated. © Tim Hetherington | Magnum Photos
