QUETTA, Nov 11: Sixteen more injured Afghans, including women and children, were brought to the border town of Chaman from different areas of Afghanistan on Sunday.

Most of the injured were brought from Herat and Hilmand provinces on which US warplanes were bombing incessantly.

A Chaman Hospital doctor told newsmen that two-year-old Niaz, who had received wounds on different parts of his body in Herat, had been admitted to the hospital.

Hospital sources told Dawn by telephone that they had shifted four seriously injured Afghans to Quetta for treatment. Others were admitted to the Chaman Hospital.

The Afghans, who brought their injured relatives to Chaman, said the people of Heart and Hilmand were facing heavy US bombing almost every day.

They said there were no medical facilities at the hospitals of Herat and Hilmand and people had no other option but to spend huge monies for reaching Pakistan for batter treatment.
