"Afghanistan's growing army of addicts"
Afghan addicts look on as they stand in their small village, comprised of over 500 addicts, on the outskirts of the city in a community inhabited by over 500 addicts, on October 02, 2013 in Herat, Afghanistan.
Long a staging area for men who work as day laborers in Iran, Islam Qala is now also a frequent waypoint for addicts returning to Herat. Most of the men say they picked up their drug addiction while in Iran. The authorities there, struggling to deal with a widespread drug crisis of their own, are quick to banish Afghan addicts back across the border by the thousands, and the deported people stream back into Islam Qala six days a week.
