'Afghan refugees in race against winter and starvation'
Refugees across Afghanistan are in a race against death, as freezing winter temperatures and a lack of food add to the country's crisis, the Secretary General of the Norwegian Refugee Council Jan Egeland has said.
He told BBC World News: "They have no food at all for the coming weeks. The little income they had in the previous economy is gone... soon it will not be 20c, it will be -10c here."
