Young girl, Morocco

What a sad and intriguing picture. “Young girl, Morocco, wasn’t added by the OP and I would love someone to confirm or deny it as it doesn’t ring true to me.

I forgot to put info on there, sorry. It is indeed a Moroccan girl. 
I found a smaller version of the same photo here:
“Maroc. Portrait d’une fillette dans la vallée du Ziz. Photographe: Jean Besancenot”
