A Saharawi man watches over his group of goats. With the scarcity of vegetation and resources, many goats eat plastic waste, which leads to health problems when they are consumed. The majority of natural resources, such as pasture, phosphate mines and a coast rich in fisheries, accumulate in the occupied territories, separated from the camps by a wall built by Morocco of more than 2,700 km in length, which is one of the most important militarized areas in the world. It is estimated that there are more than 10 million antipersonnel mines in the entire area surrounding the wall, which from time to time cause casualties among the Sahrawi population, some mortals.
