Surrounded and Crowded

283 Decade of Change single Image

‘We are surrounded everywhere by water and we have nowhere to run to.  People are dying of hunger, and the floods are to blame.’

Nyakeak Rambon, 70, uses her stick for balance as she walks through the flood water around Wangchot Primary School, where she has taken refuge.  Night is falling and there is barely any room inside.  Nyakeak stretches her legs one more time before she goes back into bed down for the night.  She won't lose her spot if she stays in all night.
