Aqcha, NW of Afghanistan. Every morning villagers bring animal feed and desert thorny brush used for fuel, to sell at the market place in Aqcha. They come early in the morning with their camels and stay until it is sold. The money would go buy rice, wheat , oil and sugar. But with the winter raging, not many people can afford to buy their goods, and therefore some of the them have to take their goods back. It's a long walk back to their hungry families...
