In this Aug. 16, 2016 photo, a family works in their wheat field, in Wakhan district of Badakhshan province, far northeastern Afghanistan. The Wakhan corridor, which has been named AfghanistanâÄ™s second national park, is the countryâÄ™s most -- perhaps only -- peaceful region. But it is so poor, even for Afghanistan, that people borrow food and children go barefoot during the long, harsh winters. (AP Photos/Massoud Hossaini)
