Nato eye surgery in Afghanistan

French army surgeon Bernard Swalduz (right) operates on an Afghan boy's injured eye, in the Nato hospital at Kabul airport, Afghanistan.

 

The boy, Najibullah, was injured by shrapnel from a Taliban rocket which killed his brother as they cycled to a polling station in Lashkar Gah, Helmand, on August 20.

 

The shrapnel puctured his left eye and without surgery he will go blind.
