Located in the Iranian Highlands, Balochistan is one of the most remote, very arid Iranian provinces in eastern Iran.
The geographic region spans eastern Iran, southern Afghanistan and southwestern Pakistan.
The people who try to survive in the barren landscape, some without water or electricity, are desperately poor.
Because of the war and poverty there are many homeless refugees, especially women and children, from Afghanistan but also from Pakistan. The Iranian central government pays no attention to this region and gives no support to the people.
