Aerial view of the Carti Sugdub island where the overcrowding of the population can be seen on October 11, 2023 in Carti Sugdub, Panama. Indigenous communities of the small island, located in an archipelago off Panama's northern Caribbean coast, face lack of space amid rising sea levels. Increasingly frequent floods and storms make life challenging on the island, affecting housing, water, health and education. Panamanian Ministry of Housing committed to build a community at a mainland site to relocate affected residents.
