Afghan internal refugee children work at a traditional brick factory on the outskirts of Herat on January 7, 2013. In 2012 alone, spreading conflict in Afghanistan has forced more than 166,000 Afghans to flee their homes, bringing the total number of people internally displaced by conflict to at least 460,000 since the fall of the Taliban in late 2001 with conditions for the displaced falling well below international standards, according to a 2012 study by the Norwegian Refugee council.
