EDITORS COMMENTS
In this powerful image captured by Philimon Bulawayo, a donkey is seen desperately searching for water at a dry borehole in rural Masvingo. The photograph, taken on January 21,2016, serves as a stark reminder of the devastating impact of drought and climate change on communities in southern Africa. The United Nations World Food Programme has reported that approximately 14 million people are facing hunger in the region due to an ongoing drought exacerbated by the El Nino weather pattern. This photo encapsulates the struggle and desperation faced by both humans and animals alike as they grapple with limited access to one of life's most basic necessities - water. The donkey symbolizes resilience amidst adversity, tirelessly scouring the barren landscape for any sign of relief. Its determination reflects the unwavering spirit of those affected by this crisis who continue to fight against all odds. Bulawayo's composition skillfully captures not only the physical hardship but also conveys a sense of isolation and vulnerability experienced by these communities. The desolate surroundings serve as a haunting backdrop to emphasize their plight. This poignant image serves as a call to action, urging us all to recognize our shared responsibility in addressing climate change and its dire consequences. It reminds us that access to clean water is not just essential for survival but also fundamental for human dignity and well-being.
