„This year, many people have moved away from here because of the drought. There was no water and they couldn’t afford to buy it either,“ says Abdul Haq. The 30-year-old lives in the Baghdis province in Afghanistan, which is increasingly affected by droughts due to climate change. He searches daily for food and water for his sheep. His only income comes from selling the lambs, which he uses to support his wife, six children and parents. „When there was no drought, we grew grain and wheat. When it rained, our barrels were full of water. We could buy things. But now the situation is not good.“
