Life goes on in Lashkar Gah, the capital of Helmand Provi

Life goes on in Lashkar Gah, the capital of Helmand Province in Afghanistan's south. The amusement park pictured sits by the province's life-blood—the Helmand River—which irrigates the crops and generates electricity through the hydroelectric plant in Kajaki to the north. Despite the river's awesome capacity however, Lashkar Gah has been without power for seven weeks since power lines between the power plant and the provincial capital were cut by insurgents in the notorious Sangin district.
