A historically persecuted minority (15%) due to more lenient Islamic faith and characteristic 'Eastern' lineaments, Hazaras constitute the 70% of Bamyan's population. Halema, 9, (Left) one of Maryam's daughters is having regular toothache. Due to hard conditions of living and poverty, health issue are a major concern in the region.
