Emergency Room of Delhi Hospital Crowded With Children Struggling to Breathe | VOA News

The emergency room of the government-run Chacha Nehru Bal Chikitsalaya hospital in the Indian capital is crowded with children struggling to breathe — many with asthma and pneumonia, which spike as air pollution peaks each winter in the city of 30 million people.

Delhi regularly ranks among the most polluted major cities on the planet, with a mixture of factory and vehicle emissions exacerbated by seasonal agricultural fires. (AFP)
