Shackled water bottles

Shackled water bottles outside Dhaka's Mugda Medical College and Hospital symbolise the exploitation of patients forced to buy overpriced water. Sellers charge Tk 10 per litre, despite sourcing it from a nearby WASA water ATM for Tk 0.80. Lack of ATM cards leaves patients vulnerable to exorbitant prices, even amid health emergencies. — FE photo by KAZ Sumon
