Amid the ongoing economic crisis in Pakistan, an image showing a man distributing bread to some women is doing the rounds on social media. The post claims that the women stepped out of the house to get wheat, and a generous man distributed bread to them.
The Facebook post reads: ये हाल है गया है।पाकिस्तान में मर्द जब आटा नही ला पाए तो बेगमें घर से बाहर निकल आईं। ये तस्वीर मियानवाली शहर से आई है जहां एक भले आदमी से ये भूखी खातून देखी नही गई और रोटी बांटने आ आ गया। जय सनातन (English translation: This is the situation. When men could not bring flour in Pakistan, women came out of the house. This picture has come from the city of Mianwali where a good samaritan distributes bread. Hail Sanatan)

With a Google Reverse Image Search, we spotted the same image in a report by Reuters, dated March 15, 2022, with a caption: Mehr del Khan Rahmati, in charge of a bakery, distributes bread among the needy in front of the bakery in Kabul, Afghanistan, January 31, 2022. REUTERS/Ali Khara.
Searching further, we found similar pictures on Reuters website, which were taken on the same day.
Thus, it is clear that the picture is from Afghanistan and not Pakistan.
