Street-level moments from Kandahar's everyday life

A young girl wearing a black hijab and a colorful dress sits on the ground in front of a weathered brick wall. The wall, made of irregular, pale bricks, shows signs of age and damage, with visible gaps and uneven surfaces. The ground in front of the wall is a mix of dirt, rocks, and scattered debris, including plastic bags and wrappers. The girl is facing to the left, with her knees bent and her hands resting on the ground. The overall scene suggests a simple, possibly impoverished, environment in the city of Kandahar, Afghanistan.

In Kandahar, Afghanistan, two females walk down a paved street, facing away from the camera. The female on the left wears a blue and white patterned dress and carries a white bag. The female on the right wears a black dress, black leggings, and a white headscarf, and carries a black bag over her shoulder. They are walking past a chain-link fence topped with barbed wire. Behind the fence, there is vegetation and a building. The street also has buildings on the left side of the frame, and several vehicles, including two vans and a car, are parked or moving. A single palm tree is visible behind the fence. The sky is clear and light blue. Graffiti is visible on a wall to the right of the street.
