KABUL, AFGHANISTAN, 21-OCT-2001: Two Afghan children sit on the debris of a destroyed house in Prodza-e-Jadeed village in the Khair Khana area, just northeast of the Afghan capital of Kabul, October 21, 2001, in raids that left some 18 civilians dead, according to the Taliban. More than two weeks of US air strikes have left Afghaistan's woefully underfunded hospitals struggling to maintain even a minimum service at a time when the deadly impact of the bombing means their services are more desperately needed than ever.
