groundwater crisis (ongoing): lake chad basin: diffa, niger: JHahn_LakeChadBasin_10

Issa Bukar walks on the farm land he rents outside of Assaga Camp. Issa Bukar and his family have been living in Diffa for almost two years after fleeing from their home in Assaga, Nigeria. Food aid is insufficient and farming remains to be difficult as the land has not been used from some time leaving the soil hard to plant. Water is also scarce as pumps in the area are broken.
