As Temperatures Rise, Egyptians Cope

by Hamada Elrasam

   Researchers say Egypt, with its arid, sun-scorched landscape and its
   limited sources of water, is one of the countries potentially most at
   risk of suffering dramatic effects of climate change. At no time of
   year is climate change more on the minds of Egyptians than summer, when
   many try to escape temperatures that have historically reached as high
   as 47 degrees Celsius. Photojournalist Hamada Elrasam shows how
   Egyptians, are coping.
