Incredible and important work @yukisugiura.photo @kimberlyhoang1 @britishredcross 🙏🏼 #Repost @yukisugiura.photo with @get_repost ・・・ I was asked by @britishredcross to capture images in Niger, Africa to raise awareness of chronic hunger in the area. I only saw a glimpse of what is happening in the whole Sahel region of Africa. Their tough life will only get worse due to the extreme weather and the poverty. It’s unjust and a total madness we don’t even know much about it, let alone do something about it. We are contributing to this silent crisis one way or another - 7+ million tons of domestic food waste we produce each year in UK contributes to climate change for an example. Time to be more aware of what is happening and know how privileged we are. We can all do something to help, however small. Please read and spread the words to support this campaign. Thank you. . . . Last year’s drought in Niger made Aissa’s crops fail, leaving the family with absolutely nothing to eat. Already one of the driest climates in the world, people who live here have always been incredibly resilient, are now having to adapt to ever harsher conditions. This is what food looks like on the frontline of climate change. Across the Sahel region of Africa, there is a silent hunger crisis. Over seven million people don’t know where their next meal will come from and 1.5 million children are acutely malnourished. The @britishredcross is working across the region, helping to break the cycle of hunger.
