The picture portrayed an old bearded Afghan refugee with a rugged look, donning a turban with a pair of spectacles.

The photographer posted this picture on his Instagram and captioned it, “This portrait of Shabuz, an Afghan refugee living in Pakistan, reminds us of the millions of displaced peoples around the world. The unprecedented humanitarian crises across the globe, have resulted in the largest number of refugees in history. A hundred million people have been displaced from their homes. We must all redouble our efforts to support these people, who through no fault of their own, find themselves in vulnerable and precarious situations.”
