toxic foam in Colombia, food aid in Afghanistan… The news of the week in a few snapshots

Every Friday, the “Photo Hebdo” section covers the news of the week in a few shots. Friday, April 29, she takes us first to Colombia. On a photo, we can see what looks like a cloud. In reality, it is a toxic foam that invades the suburbs of Bogota (Colombia). It comes from wastewater discharged into the river without being treated.

Opposed to the war in Ukraine, Greenpeace activists chained themselves to a giant oil tanker, which was to unload Russian kerosene in Norway. In Afghanistan, women wait for food aid. According to the UN, half the population cannot feed itself. In a temple in Seoul (South Korea), thousands of hanging lanterns form an abstract picture, to celebrate Buddha’s birthday. Finally, at the foot of the Matterhorn (Switzerland), skiers take part in the Patrouille des glaciers, a race designed to test the endurance of alpine hunters, now open to everyone.
