Nearly two million children throughout Afghanistan returned to school this week. Under the Taleban, girls were not allowed to attend school in public. But for the first time in five years many of those pupils and teachers filling the classrooms are girls.
These girls are already hard at work learning Persian. They have no text books, no pens, no paper. But many of them have been taking refresher courses, trying to catch up with what they have missed. But then came news of the earthquake in Nahreen. Caroline Wyatt is one of the BBC's correspondents in Kabul. Martha asks her what the mood is like in Afghanistan.
