The body of a patient, later identified as Baynazar Mohammad Nazar, a 43-year-old husband and father of four, lies on an operating table in the destroyed Doctors Without Borders (MSF) Kunduz Trauma Center on October 10, 2015.

Quilty was on assignment for Foreign Policy magazine when he captured this and other photographs from the hospital.
