A boy waits to sell wood for stoves in a market in Kabul, Afghanistan, February 2, 2020. The capital Kabul, a city of some 6 million, ranks as one of the most polluted cities in the world – contesting amongst other polluted capitals such as India's New Delhi or China's Beijing.

Old vehicles and generators that run on poor quality fuel release vast amounts of toxins into the city's air. © UNICEF/Afghanistan/Modola20
