A young boy sells balloons in Kabul, Afghanistan, Thursday, March 23, 2017. An aid group said Thursday that nearly a third of all children in war-torn Afghanistan are unable to attend school, leaving them at increased risk of child labor, recruitment by armed groups, early marriage and other forms of exploitation. Save the Children said more than 400,000 Afghan children, over 1,100 per day – are expected to drop out of school this year due to growing instability and the forcible return of Afghan refugees from Pakistan, adding to the 3.7 million already out of school.
