Speaker. if one searches for the greatest need for health care in the world today. the conclusion would be that it is found In Afghanistan. When the Russians invaded that country in December 1979. they immediately imprisoned Westerntrained doctors. executed many. and drove others out of the country. Since then. the Russians have killed more than 1 million Afghan men. women. and children. and driven more than 4 million into U.N. refugee camps outside that country. Along with this. the Russians have destroyed entire villages. polluted water supplies. burned grain fields and orchards. and in their genocide of the Afghan people. made them the target for disease and malnutrition unknown before the Russian Invasion. Today. the death rate for Afghan children is the highest in the world.
