Photo of the week, June 29th

The heavy and erratic rains crossing the country are adding to the challenges in many parts. This week we have seen a key road in the Afram plains cut off through localised flooding, and thousands of acres covered in water. In some places the water is welcomed, in others it has posed access problems and potentially reduced yields or spoiled crops. From the North to the South, our climate poses challenges for those who work the land and live in rural locations.

Spare a thought for those many kilometres from a tarred road at these times. Photo courtesy of Medicine on the Move http://www.medicineonthemove.org/
