Pakistan's Toxic Smog Crisis Endangers Millions of Children
Unicef has raised alarms over the severe air pollution in Punjab, Pakistan, which is affecting over 11 million children under five. The air quality in the region has reached hazardous levels, prompting school closures and restrictions on public spaces until November 17. Unicef's representative, Abdullah Fadil, emphasized the urgent need for government action to reduce emissions and protect children's health, as the smog poses significant risks to young children's development and well-being. The situation underscores the critical need for sustainable energy and transportation solutions.
