Life near Buriganga river in Bangladesh

Women collected polluted water from Buriganga river for their daily needs, on February 23, 2015. A large swathe of the Buriganga River which is the lifeline of the capital has turned pitch-black with toxic waste, oil and chemicals flowing into it from industrial units. The water became extremely polluted and represents a health hazard for the riverbed communities. (Photo by Zakir Hossain Chowdhury/NurPhoto)
