Indonesia has established emergency shelters to provide relief for infants and young children suffering from severe respiratory distress due to hazardous wildfire smoke. Health officials report that the thick haze has worsened air quality to dangerous levels, particularly affecting vulnerable populations. The shelters will offer medical care and temporary respite from the polluted conditions. Authorities urge residents in high-risk areas to take precautions as the situation continues to deteriorate.
