The emotional toll of displacement is profound. Devi's husband succumbed to cancer amidst these hardships, adding to her grief. She now lives with her extended family, trying to find solace in their shared resilience.

As climate change causes sea levels to rise and weather patterns to shift, the very land that sustains these communities is being eroded or rendered uninhabitable.
