Snow adds to Afghan refugees' woes

More than 20cm of snow has fallen on the Afghan capital, Kabul, making life for refugees who are already living in extreme conditions even worse.

Those living in camps, who have fled violence in the south of the country, are pleading for government assistance to save them from the cold.

Al Jazeera's Bernard Smith reports from Kabul.

I can't believe how cynical Americans are nowadays. They don't believe that someone can be out of resources sometimes and that everybody is in full control of their lives. Americans are filled with arrogance. and history repeats itself.

@helix4811 "Al-Qaeda did WTC not the Taliban"

Muslims didn't "do" 9/11/. Jews didn't do 9/11. Protestants didn't do 9/11. Roman Catholics did 9/11 and it's proven in the book Vatican Assassins by Eric Jon Phelps.

It's sickening the amount of wicked sinners in Europe, Britain, and America, sitting at home with their feet up cheering as the PAPAL CRUSADERS drop another 500lb bomb on a mud hut.

Al-Qaeda did WTC not the Taliban, in fact they're not even on the terror list. It was the US who started this war in Afghanistan, so YOU get your facts straight. The Taliban tried to give Bin Laden to the US multiple times, first they said he should be tried in a neutral nation, but the US rejected it, and one day before the US started the invasion, the Taliban even offered to give Osama up to the US directly, but again the US rejected it. SO no, the Taliban DIDN'T start this.
