Climate issues in Eastern Mauritania

The Mauritanian desert context does not facilitate the living conditions of the population, many have difficulty meeting their daily needs. The East of this country, particularly the Hodh ech Chargui region, has been suffering from major droughts for several years. The animals are weakened, food is lacking. Rain sometimes comes but often in the form of a devastating storm, houses often built in Banco do not resist, people lose their homes and the little they have.
