In Somaliland, climate change is now a life-or-death challenge

Pastoralists long accustomed to a harsh environment are reeling as drought and cyclones lay waste to their herds and leave families weak from thirst and hunger

If you drive north from the Somaliland village of Gargara - where women speak of their heartache at losing goats in this year's drought - and ford the fractured beds of dry rivers, passing the sun-bleached bones of dead animals, you eventually arrive in Lughaya, where open-mouthed fish lie on the white sands by the Red Sea after a wave "like a mountain" smashed into the coast this month.

This is what a changing climate looks like.
