I guess knowing that these kids are in the Northern area. They might be in better shape only because the Taliban does not contol this area. But that does not mean they are not hungry.
Why let them turn to pot-bellied starving children when we can prevent it?

We are not seeing pictures of other children in other areas because it is
too risky for the reporters to travel into other areas in Afghanistan.

As far as them being clean, they have plenty of water. But you can't live on water alone.
I am sure the majority of the have mothers and that the mothers do clean them up.

Where are the pot bellies?

You mean the areas where we are dropping food that the enemy picks up and eats?

These kids are in the northern alliance area, they are not controled by the Taliban. The women in the northern area are not required to cover themselves. The people in the northern area do not have it as bad as people in other areas of Afghanistan, but they are still hungry and cannot get food moved in to them unless we supply it by air dropping it. It is getting cold there and they cannot grow their own crops of food to survive over the winter. US reporters cannot get into other areas to photograph other areas without risking their own lives, this is why we are only getting pictures like this.
