Afghanistan: Charahee Qambar Settlement

Lal Mahmat, who estimates his age to be between 75 and 80, huddles in his mud house in the Charahee Qambar settlement. Lal Mahmat left Sangin, Helmand seven months ago to come to the settlement in Kabul. Suffering from rheumatism, he says he spends all day in his hut covering himself with a blanket. December, 2009.
