Volunteers distributing water to the refugees at Walton camp. The fact that they are on a horse cart suggests that they were distributing huge volumes of water, indicative of the number of people they were helping. Walton was one of the biggest refugee camps in Lahore. It was set up after the 1947 Partition of Indian subcontinent.
This image is from the collection of F.E. Chaudhry, the only known local Pakistani photographer who captured the events at the time.
