Water levels at lakes in East Africa are rising alarmingly fast. The effects of climate change have worsened the floods of Africa's second-largest lake, often preventing the Ruzizi River from flowing into it. Lake Tanganyika has been above its normal level since 2018 and has been displacing people for years. (Photo by Luis Tato/AFP Photo)
