Award-winning photographer, Peter Caton, has dedicated his career to reporting on humanitarian causes and amplifying the voices of disadvantaged people. He has lived on the road for 19 years, the last ten in Africa, where he has documented climate-related crises throughout the continent. In Unyielding Floods, he photographs villagers trying to protect their homes and livelihoods against the catastrophic floods in South Sudan which are still ongoing. Over four years, Peter returned to these historic floods that have refused to recede, capturing the struggles of the villagers, their resilience and their heartache. When the floods emerged in 2019, villagers became trapped by new water borders, unable to flee. Many villages were destroyed, creating massive displacement. Refugee camps also became cut off by water. The economic damage of this climate crisis has been enormous. Crops failed as livestock perished, increasing widespread famine. Today, there is still no sign of the water receding. Towns resemble an everlasting sea with the roofs of people''s homes protruding from the murky waters. The images that Peter has captured are a heartbreaking reality for the people of South Sudan, a heartbreaking reality that deserves greater public awareness.
