London Times:

BASIRA JAN’S heart condition was so severe that her face turned blue after walking just a few yards.
The six-year-old girl, who comes from a remote Afghan village without electricity or running water, would undoubtedly have died had she not been taken in hand by US National Guardsmen and sent to America for emergency surgery at one of the world’s best paediatric hospitals. It was an operation that cost 100 times her father’s annual earnings from his job clearing landmines.
