Nazar Uzbik, an Afghan shoe repairer from Harat, starts his day in Zahedan, Iran, Wednesday Oct. 10, 2001. Iranian authorities have closed its 600-mile border with Afghanistan but say they will attempt to aid any refugees in camps on the Afghan side. The U.N. refugee agency has appealed to Iran to open the border. But Iranian officials say the country already has more than 2 million Afghans and cannot handle any more refugees.
