With war raging in South Sudan and severe flooding in Ethiopia's western state of Gambela, 10-year old refugee Nyanhial Gatkuoth is caught in the middle. For four months the little South Sudanese refugee has been living at Pagak, an Ethiopian town on the border with her war-torn home country.
"I miss going to school," she says. "In South Sudan, I was learning English." Now she spends her free time playing with other children, using an inflated rubber glove as a football.
