STORYLINE:

Refugee crisis worsens on the Pakistan-Afghanistan border.

Fenced out by a roll of rusty barbed wire, hundreds of Afghan refugees crouch on the barren ground, staring bleakly ahead of them, with no shelter from the scorching sun.

Some have been here at this desolate border crossing for five days, desperate to find a haven in Pakistan against what they believe are inevitable American air strikes on their homeland.

Pakistan, already host to 2 million Afghan refugees - most of them living in squalid camps - virtually shut down its border with Afghanistan last Monday at America's request.

Nearly all trade has halted along the 1,500-mile-(2,400 kilometer)-long border frontier as both Pakistan and Afghanistan step up their military presence with troops and weaponry.
