Ghana - Fuveme - Villagers walk across the village flooded by the rising sea level. As the ocean quickly enters the houses villagers try to save their belongings.<br />

Nestled between the ocean and the Volta river estuary, the village of Fuvemeh has seen its territory reduced from several kilometers to few hundred meters. Nowadays, the villages sits on a narrow strip of land which separates the coastline from the adjacent lagoon. Haunted by coastal erosion, its 1,000 inhabitants have literally nowhere to move.
