VOICED: Mauritania's capital, caught between desert and waves

The video discusses the environmental threat posed by rising sea levels to Mauritania's capital, particularly Newark Short. The city, built on a former nomadic camp, faces increased flooding due to poor maintenance of protective sand dunes. Authorities have banned construction on these dunes, but experts warn that time is running out to prevent significant parts of the city from being submerged.
