``` The image is a screenshot from a YouTube video by the channel WION. The main focus is a stack of documents, prominently featuring Sri Lankan passports. The scene appears to be indoors with a close-up view of the passports and related paperwork spread across a table. The passports have a dark cover with the Sri Lankan emblem embossed in gold, creating a contrast against the white and colored documents beneath them. The lighting is bright enough to highlight the details on the passports and papers. The header of the video boldly states, "The economic crisis forces Sri Lankans to flee as they seek passport to a better life," indicating a discussion about the economic situation in Sri Lanka and its impact on citizens. A caption at the bottom reads, "Sri Lankan PM predicts food crisis in the country," highlighting concerns about a looming crisis. The key on-screen text "COLOMBO, SRI LANKA" provides a geographic context, suggesting where this situation is unfolding. The image is part of a broader narrative on the economic challenges faced by Sri Lankans, pushing many to seek opportunities abroad. The neatly organized documents suggest a formal setting, possibly an office or government institution where passport applications are processed. The presence of numerous passports implies a significant number of people are involved, further emphasizing the gravity of the crisis.
