Correction: Afghanistan-Winter Woes story

PUL-E-ALAM, Afghanistan (AP) — In a story published January 27, 2022, about the devastating winter in Afghanistan, The Associated Press erroneously reported the percentage of drug addicts among the country’s population of 38 million. The story cited a U.N. estimate of about 1 million addicts, who would constitute about 2.6% of the population, rather than 8%.
