For the 900 residents of Kebena village, in the northeastern Afar region of Ethiopia, 2025 has been a year of one calamity after another. First, there were earthquakes at the start of the year, tearing through homes and forcing families to relocate to a camp four miles down the road. “The health facility, school, and homes were all destroyed, and a lot of the community remain traumatised by what happened,” explains Mehamed Ali-Sisa, the village leader. https://www.independent.co.uk/climate-c ... 51604.html
