title: 'people queued for hours to see him'.
abstract: I met Khalil Dale (pictured) in 1995 when writing about the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) campaign to end the use of landmines. I spent a week alongside him, reporting on his work for the ICRC in northern Afghanistan. Khalil was a gentle, quiet man who left a big impression on everyone who met him.
