From then he spent two decades giving assistance and protection to the people who needed it, in places torn apart by conflict-Cambodia, South Sudan, Pakistan-before working as Head of Delegation in Iraq, Syria and Russia. In 2013, his colleagues were kidnapped by the Islamic State group in Syria. Such is the danger of providing humanitarian aid.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eA Heart for War Victims\u003c\/em\u003e is the story of Magne's work with the ICRC, traveling to places of armed conflict and insecurity, engaging in dialogue with authorities and opposition groups, visiting prisons and remote communities and, above all, meeting the victims of war themselves.
