Submitted by crinadmin on

Summary: [October 15 2001] As bombs drop on
Afghanistan and the efforts to
destroy the al Qaeda network and
track down Osama bin Laden
continue, the children of Afghanistan
are suffering. Reports of the dire
food situation and the poor health of
many of Afghanistan's youth are
widely known. Many other children in
Afghanistan are feeling the affects of
war first hand, as soldiers.
