Taliban blames U.S. as 1 million Afghan kids face death by starvation

Kabul, Afghanistan — There are few greater agonies for a parent than a sick child. Six-month-old Sofia is suffering from severe anemia caused by acute malnutrition. Her mother Arezo told CBS News' Imtiaz Tyab that the family simply didn't have money to keep the tiny girl fed.

As CBS News watched Sofia get treatment at the Indira Ghandi Children's Hospital in Kabul, her father told Tyab he was desperate.

"I need food," he said, sobbing. "I have five kids — they are all so hungry."
