Settlement Growth in the Nile Delta - Egypt

Handout Photomontage shows Settlement Growth in the Nile Delta. The United Nations’ World Urbanisation Prospects 2025 was published on 17 November 2025. Drawing on data from the Joint Research Centre’s Global Human Settlement Layer (GHSL), developed under the Copernicus Emergency Management Service (CEMS), the report tracks changes in population distribution across more than 12,000 urban settlements. It highlights a global shift in settlement patterns, with the majority of the world’s population now living in urban areas. This image, created with GHSL data, focuses on the Nile Delta in Egypt, one of the world’s most densely populated regions. By comparing estimates of built-up surface at three points in time, it shows how the extent of urban development has changed between 1975 and 2025, along with projections for 2075. Using satellite data and national census inputs, GHSL provides a broad range of data on human settlements worldwide, including estimates of built-up surfaces per square kilometre and, at even

Monsoon Floods Force Evacuations in Prayagraj - India

Flood-affected residents of a low-lying area move their belongings to a safer place on the banks of the river Ganges following heavy monsoon rains in Prayagraj, India, on August 1, 2025. Seasonal downpours have caused the river to swell beyond its banks, inundating homes and disrupting daily life in several neighborhoods. Families wade through knee-deep water carrying essential items, while others transport household goods using makeshift rafts or carts. The annual monsoon, though vital for agriculture, often brings displacement and damage in flood-prone regions, exposing gaps in infrastructure and emergency preparedness. In Prayagraj, residents of informal settlements and riverside areas face particular vulnerability as rising waters threaten homes and livelihoods. Local authorities issue alerts as water levels continue to rise, prompting precautionary evacuations along low-lying zones near the Ganges. Photo by Sanjay Kanojia/Middle East Images/ABACAPRESS.COM
