Afghanistan Struggles to Eradicate Polio

KABUL, AFGHANISTAN - SEPTEMBER 26: Fawad Rahmani, 11, makes his way home using his crutches and special braces fitted from the ICRC Orthopedic clinic on September 26, 2009 in Kabul, Afghanistan. Fawad has had polio since he was two years old. Health care is one of many problems facing Afghanistan, eight years after the war began to oust the Taliban regime, even as the country receives billions of dollars in international aid. Afghanistan is still fighting to eradicate polio to which they are one of the few countries still dealing with the disease. Earlier this month UNICEF launched an immunization campaign targeting 1.2 million children with an aim is to immunize every child under five. (Photo by Paula Bronstein/Getty Images)
