南苏丹的Akuak人面临第六年严重水灾, South Sudan’s Akuak people face sixth year of severe floods, losing homes and livelihoods despite clinging to ancestral land.

Akuak是南苏丹的一个渔业社区,它正利用papyrus和泥土来加固尼罗河上脆弱的土地,与因气候变化而加剧的洪水作斗争。 The Akuak, a South Sudanese fishing community, is battling worsening floods fueled by climate change, using papyrus and mud to reinforce their fragile land on the Nile River. 这标志着连续第六年发生灾难性洪水,造成375 000多人流离失所。 This marks the sixth consecutive year of catastrophic flooding, displacing over 375,000 people. 尽管几十年前他们失去了传统的放牧生活方式,但这个群体仍然致力于他们的祖传土地,完全依靠捕鱼。 Despite losing their traditional herding lifestyle decades ago, the group remains committed to their ancestral land, relying solely on fishing. 他们的家建在环礁上,只有独木舟才能进入,他们希望水位最终会像1960年代那样降低。 Their homes, built on shifting atolls, are accessible only by canoe, and they hope water levels will eventually recede like in the 1960s.
