UK HELPS AFGHAN CHILDREN RECOVER FROM WAR
The UK is to help provide 3,800 new artificial limbs and 10,000 crutches for Afghan children and adults disabled during 30 years of conflict and extreme poverty, International Development Secretary Andrew Mitchell announced yesterday on a visit to the country.
The effort is part of a 40% increase in the UK’s aid programme in Afghanistan, which includes extra help for children and families who have been blighted by decades of war.
