U.S. Army Medics Treat Local Afghans At A Medical Clinic In Wazakhwa
WAZAKHWA, AFGHANISTAN - SEPTEMBER 13: Local Afghans in Wazakhwa sit in a medical clinic waiting to be treated by US Army medics from the 25th Infantry Division in south eastern Paktika Province, Afghanistan, September 13, 2004. The medical clinic is open every day and US Army medics treat on average 24 people per day. The 10 year old boy dislocated his elbow over three weeks ago. The US Army medic (right) tries to reset the joint as the boy screams in pain. Infant mortality in Afghanistan is one of the highest in the world. Most Afghan children suffer from malnutrition or water born diseases. (Photo by Robert Nickelsberg/Getty Images)
