In mid January 2015, a three day period of excessive rain brought unprecedented floods to the small poor African country of Malawi. It displaced nearly quarter of a million people, devastated 64,000 hectares of land, and killed several hundred people. This shot shows farmland buried under flood debris in Chikwawa, with a training shoe, all that remains of one of the victims that was washed away.
