Magetsi Nyankalidzi, 30, becomes distraught as she recounts searching for water-lily bulbs to eat in the Elephant Marshes off the Shire river in southern Malawi, as her daughter Mavudo, 4, looks on. * The women continue the work despite the risk of crocodile attacks, which have led to numerous deaths, as it is one of the few sources of food remaining.
