UNICEF has issued a stark warning about the severe impact of air pollution on children in Pakistan, particularly in Lahore, which has recently been labeled the world's most polluted city. With air quality levels exceeding 100 times the World Health Organization's guidelines, hospitals have seen a surge in respiratory cases, including many children. Schools in affected areas have been temporarily closed, disrupting education for millions. Abdullah Fadil, UNICEF Representative in Pakistan, emphasized, 'Every child has the right to clean air. Children's health and right to an education must be protected'. The organization is urging the government to enforce environmental regulations and promote clean energy solutions. EPA/RAHAT DAR
