Iranian Children Playing in Deprived Southeastern Province

Sistan and Baluchestan Province in southeast of Iran is one of the most underdeveloped provinces of Iran. The deprivation of people in this province has been worsened by a heavy dust pollution which every now and then strikes different towns and cities in Sistan and Baluchestan.

Zabol, one of the major cities in the province, was recently declared as the world’s most polluted city. However, children can never stop playing and enjoying their childhood.

Here are IRNA’s photos of these children who are trying to forget about their situation for a moment.
