Kenya: Dandora Dumpsite
Feb 13, 2013 - Dandora dumpsite, Nairobi, Kenya - Kenyan scavengers dig for items to sell and food waste to eat at the Dandora dumpsite, one of the largest and most toxic in Africa. Located near slums in the east of the Kenyan capital Nairobi, the open dump site was created in 1975 and covers 30 acres. The site receives 2,000 tonnes of unfiltered garbage daily, including hazardous chemical and hospital wastes. It is a source of survival for many people living in the surrounding slums, however it also harms children and adults' health in the area and pollutes the Kenyan capital.

Drought and flooding damage precarious balance the Horn of Africa
April 26, 2010, Elbilenle, Togdheer Province, Somaliland: The village chief bears the burden of managing Elbilenle's woes caused by drought. The perennial flooding and drought problems that afflict the Horn of Africa and the millions of farmers and pastoralists in the region have been particularly acute in Somaliland, the relatively stable breakaway republic that remains unrecognized internationally. In February 2010, the Somaliland authorities urgently called for aid to help almost 40% of its population or 1.4 million people in need of assistance after 3 consecutive years of failed rains in the region. While rainfall has indeed began to arrive recently in the region, the crisis does not stop with the advent of rain. Recent flooding in Somaliland in February 2010 destroyed water systems and affected crops by damaging large tracts of farmland and caused unconfirmed numbers of livestock deaths. Almost 40,000 people were affected by the recent flooding.///The village chief. Credit: George Philipas / Polaris (FOTO:DUKAS/POLARIS)
