AFGHANISTAN - KANDAHAR

Malnutrition in Kandahar


A woman waits with her severely malnourished baby in a therapeutic feeding centre in Kandahar, Afghanistan on the 17th March, 2010. The US coalition leader in Afghanistan General McCrystal has announced a major offensive in Kandahar over the next few months to rid it of Taliban insurgents. It remains the Taliban heartland, despite having over 30000 foreign troops stationed there. Few humintarian organisations can operate safely due to the insurgency, and life for the majority of Afghans in the city remains dire.
