A thick orange smog has descended on the Indonesian city of Palangka Raya. Witnesses captured videos of the haze washing over the Kalimantan region, not far from where wildfires continue to burn.

The ISPU air pollution index exceeded 1,200, according to data from the national environment ministry, which is four times higher than the "hazardous" level of 300 recorded on Wednesday. This alarming level of pollution is choking millions across Indonesia, Singapore, and Malaysia.
