PAKISTAN-UNREST-HEALTH-POLIO
TO GO WITH 'PAKISTAN-UNREST-HEALTH-POLIO' BY GUILLAUME LAVALLÉE
In this photograph taken on October 20, 2014, a Pakistani doctor administers the polio vaccine to a child at his clinic in Peshawar. Nadia Khan treasures two photos of her sister Sumbal: one showing her bright-eyed and smiling, the other blank-faced in death after she was gunned down by militants, a "martyr" in Pakistan's desperate fight against polio. It was May 2013 and Sumbal and her friend Shirafat were vaccinating children against the crippling disease at a rough mudbrick house in the village of Badaber in the country's militant-plagued northwest. Pakistan is one of only three countries, along with Afghanistan and Nigeria, where polio is still endemic, and efforts to stamp it out have been badly affected by attacks on vaccinators like Sumbal.
