The return of the Taliban and the resulting economic crisis has plunged the Afghan population into great poverty.
According to estimates by the humanitarian organization Save the Children, almost half of all Afghan families are forced to send their children to work to earn money for food.
The working conditions in the brick factories in northern Kabul are tough, even for adults.
Nevertheless, many children work there, even younger than five years, from the early morning, through the sweltering heat of the day, until late in the evening.
You will not be spared any of the work that a ball of clay takes to become a brick.
Children carry the water canisters, collect brushwood and lay it out to dry.
They load wheelbarrows with dried bricks and take them to the kilns, then load the fired bricks back onto their wheelbarrows.
They sort the bricks and collect the used charcoal from the fireplaces to reuse later.
Few of them have ever gone to school.
"There is no other way," says Rahim, whose three children work with him in the factory:
“How could they go to school if we don't have enough bread to eat?
Survival is more important.”
In his report, Ebrahim Noroozi focused on the working children.
All the adults who also work in the factories seem to have disappeared.
The depressing fate of the children of Afghanistan looks straight at us from his pictures.
