Hugh Sykes in Afghanistan.
On PM last night Hugh visited a children's hospital in Kabul.
He writes: "Here are some of the people I met, and some children on the dusty streets of the Afghan capital:
On the wall in the French Medical Institute for Children - run by the Agha Khan Development Network and a French charity La Chaine d'Espoir, which means chain of hope.
The senior paediatrician, Dr. Gul Ghutai, Sara, aged 28 days, and her grandmother Parveen. Sara has an infection and is hooked up to tubes to give her oxygen and intravenous nutrition.
Mohammed Kabir, a Kabul tailor, and his daughter Tuba, who's two years old. She was vomitting persistently, and is in hospital for a blood transfusion.
The hospital playground.
Two women leaving the hospital with a little girl.
Children with their donkey and cart in a Kabul street.
A child in a dusty street."
