Summary
Sharbat Gula was orphaned during the Soviet Union's bombing of Afghanistan and sent to the Nasir Bagh refugee camp in Pakistan in 1984. Her village was attacked by Soviet helicopter gunships sometime in the early 1980s. She was the subject of this famous photograph by journalist Steve McCurry. The image brought her recognition when it was featured on the cover of the June 1985 issue of National Geographic Magazine at a time when she was approximately 12 years old. Gula was known throughout the world simply as "the Afghan Girl" until she was formally identified in early 2002.

NG met up with Sharbat again in 2002. The more current picture of her next to the original is striking. Her story of losing her parents at a young age is quite heartbreaking. She has been through so much in her life. Very kind of NG to pay for her family's medical care and pay for her daughters to be able to go to College.
