Kaltouma,11, lies in a bed after her leg was amputated at Guereda hospital, in Birak March 4, 2008. She was injured along with three of her sisters when a bomb landed on their family home in Darfur, a few kilometres from the border with Sudan. Thousands have fled with their children and belongings from Sudanese army and militia offensives against a mountainous Darfuri rebel stronghold. Picture taken on March 4, 2008.
