An "aid stampede" in Parwan Province. We feared these almost as much as attacks/IEDs/mines. These kids have very little, they saw something being given out, and they were darn sure they were going to get at it. Fortunately we usually had the village elders, teachers, police, whomever we could get, help us with crowd control. Once in a while, however, we would just get rushed.
