The village is unsafe, but the floodwaters are too high to bring her three young children to Leitchuor refugee camp in Ethiopia. We've survived by just drinking cow's milk, she says. Before the war, I was huge, but from lack of food I've got so thin. In the past five years, eight conflicts have erupted or reignited in Africa alone.
