Looking for Food in the Trashcans of Tehran

Iran is facing a second wave of the coronavirus outbreak, with many cities experiencing a spike in the number of cases. In the capital city Tehran, residents continue to worry about the crowded streets and the lack of social distancing. Food is scarce and some, including many children, have been forced to look for food on the streets, often going through trashcans in the hopes of finding something edible.
