A young man named Cordeiro Freitas helps his mother carry food from the point where boats dock to the fishing community of Maracapuru, walking nearly 2 kilometers under the intense sun. – Droughts in the Amazon, especially in the Amazon, Negro, and Solimões rivers, are reaching alarming levels. One of the major tributaries of the Amazon River has recorded its lowest level in history, as reported by Brazil’s geological service, reflecting a severe drought that has devastated the Amazon rainforest and other parts of the country. At the beginning of October, the level of the Negro River at the port of Manaus was 12.66 meters, compared to its normal level of around 21 meters. This is the lowest level recorded since measurements began 122 years ago. Water levels in the Amazon naturally fluctuate between the rainy and dry seasons, but this year’s dry season has been much more severe than usual. All major rivers in the Amazon basin are at critical levels, including the Madeira River, the longest tributary of the Amazon. This phenomenon, associated with climate change, threatens not only biodiversity and river ecosystems but also the livelihoods of local communities that depend on these rivers for sustenance. Many of these communities have been cut off, and their boats have become stranded on large sandbanks. Due to the projected recurrence of droughts in the coming years, several communities are considering abandoning their territories and migrating to cities.
En Asia Pacífico y Oceanía, las fotografías seleccionadas incluyen “Fraude en adopciones en Corea”, de Jae C. Hong; “Gabriel Medina durante los Juegos Olímpicos de París 2024”, de Jerome Brouillet; y “El impacto de la minería de níquel en Halmahera”, de Mas Agung Wilis Yudha Baskoro.
El certamen refleja los conflictos actuales en lugares como Líbano y Palestina, así como la relación entre humanos y animales en Zambia y Tailandia. La crisis climática es otro eje central, con imágenes que documentan sus efectos en Perú, Brasil y Filipinas. También destaca la celebración del Orgullo en Lagos, Nigeria, donde la comunidad LGTBIQ+ enfrenta persecución legal.

Yohanna (22), Eritrean, resting with her mother’s hand on her arm after receiving treatment for complications following the removal of a kidney.
Yohanna was shot by the Eritrean police at the Shambuko (Eritrea) border and woke up in a hospital in Ethiopia where she learned that one of her kidneys had been removed. She has no medical record or written document justifying either the surgery or the kidney removal.
Girls attempting to flee Eritrea are often shot in the stomach by military police to prevent them from having children.
In 1998, Eritrea and Ethiopia began a two-year border dispute which claimed at least 70,000 lives.
Hostilities ended in 2000 but the border has been militarized ever since, the result of a signed - but never fully implemented - peace deal. In 2018, Ethiopia and Eritrea signed a Joint Declaration of Peace and Friendship and the border situation relaxed for a few months only to revert back to its previous state (“Eritrea partially closes border crossings to Ethiopians without travel documents: Reports”, Ahram website, December 2018). The situation worsened with the outbreak of the Tigray war in 2020, and despite the Pretoria Agreement establishing a truce, bombings continue along the borders.
Yohanna now lives in the United States and has received medical care that allowed her to give birth to a baby girl

A long-tailed macaque looks into a motorbike's side mirror near Phra Prang Sam Yot temple, before officials started capturing monkeys in Lopburi, Thailand, February 3, 2024. After Lopburi came out of the pandemic lockdown in mid-2022, its residents found that the monkeys, without people feeding them, had become unruly. Troops of macaques had taken over buildings, often confronting residents, stealing food and causing accidents. Gangs of monkeys also fought in brawls, shocking locals. Some residents resorted to caging themselves within their homes. REUTERS/Chalinee Thirasupa SEARCH "THIRASUPA THAILAND MONKEYS" FOR THIS STORY. SEARCH "WIDER IMAGE" FOR ALL STORIES.

Adigrat, Tigray, Ethiopia. 12 December 2023.
Zanesh (39) and her daughter (5), Tigrayans, hug each other.
Zanesh was raped by three Eritrean soldiers in Zalambesa when the war began. The violence occurred in front of her children and her husband, who then left her. Women raped during the war are almost always abandoned by their husbands. A few months after the Pretoria Peace Agreement (November 2022), her 5-year-old daughter was raped by an Eritrean soldier. This truce was arduously reached between representatives of the Ethiopian government and the Tigrayan military, but was not accepted by the Eritrean government which did not completely withdraw its troops. Those left behind were relocated to areas where they continued to abuse civilians, particularly to sexually abuse women and girls. According to data from the official Tigray Health Bureau, between November and December 2022, after the signing of the agreement, 852 cases of rape were reported in centers established to help survivors (“Ethiopia war in Tigray: Eritrean soldiers accused of rape despite peace deal”, BBC, February 2023).

Addis Ababa – Ethiopia. 30 November 2022.
Yalem (23), Eritrean, showing the scar from a bullet fired by Amhara soldiers.
Yalem was living in the Mai Aini camp in Tigray with her husband, two children and a sister when the war broke out. She escaped with her family to the Dabbat refugee camp in the Amhara region. Upon reaching the camp, she was separated from her husband and raped in front of her children. The family reunited and decided to flee to Addis Ababa. Amhara soldiers shot at the group, wounding both Yalem and her sister; Yalem managed to get away with her children and her husband, but she still doesn’t know what happened to her sister.
Yalem suffers from anxiety disorders linked to post traumatic stress and feels responsible for not aiding her sister.
The UNHRC declared that 24,000 Eritrean refugees in the Mai Aini and Adi Harush camps, located in the Mai Tsebri area in Tigray, live in a state of constant terror without access to any kind of humanitarian aid (“Eritrean refugees in Tigray caught up in conflict”, UNHRC, July 2021).
Refugee camps have been attacked and many Eritreans killed or tortured. Refugees International reports 20,000 missing Eritreans (“Nowhere to run: Eritrean refugee in Tigray”, March 2022).

Youths clamour for "chilli bricks", a form of elephant deterrent, at a public elephant safety event in the Linda neighbourhood of Livingstone, Zambia. The bricks are made of elephant dung, used engine oil and chilli, and when burned they produce an unpalatable smoke that helps to keep elephants at bay. Several people have been killed by elephants in Linda over the past few months.
A tear gas canister explodes as protesters try to help injured people outside the Kenya Parliament during a nationwide strike to protest against tax hikes and the Finance Bill 2024 in downtown Nairobi, on June 25, 2024.
In 2024, weeks of protests in Kenya over a new finance bill that raised taxes led to at least 60 deaths, over 400 injuries and reports of abductions. Tensions peaked on June 25 when protesters stormed Parliament, demanding the bill's rejection. Violent clashes with police resulted in injuries and fires around Parliament, with opposition lawmakers joining demonstrators in calls for government accountability and police reform.
