Afghanistan: NATO leaves hundreds of Afghan families homeless (video)

International Red Cross affiliate the Afghan Red Crescent Society says about 500 families in Afghanistan's Helmand Province were forced out of their homes following recent military operations there by Afghan government and NATO forces. The refugee affairs department says over 2,000 of up to 4,000 families displaced from their homes in the Marjah area during a large-scale military operation in February have remained in Lashkargah for security reasons.
