The Kyrgyz Village Where Flooding Drove Away 30 Families In 4 Years (Video)
In recent years, floods have forced out 30 families of nearly 300 households in Ak-Terek, a small village in Kyrgyzstan's southern Batken Province. Residents say they have never experienced such persistent flooding, which experts attribute to climate change. The World Bank estimates climate change may lead to 200,000 Kyrgyz people being internally displaced by 2050.
