"Foreign Taliban fighters have left behind hundreds of women and children inside 
Afghanistan. Civilians in Afghanistan are entitled to protection under international 
humanitarian law, regardless of where they are from or what their husbands and fathers 
may have done." -- Sidney Jones, Exec Director of the Asia division

"One of the humanitarian workers told Human Rights Watch: 'These people are dead very 
soon if someone doesn't help them - it could be the cold, or hunger, or American 
bombs, or local bandits.'
