Nearly 7.5 million people live. But as people cut the trees and ris[e] [the] seas the forest and land itself shrink[s]. 

More than a million have already struck this quiet corner of the country. Thriving in temperatures and b[l]ackish waters [which] has come roaring back. 

It supposedly [was] born; the local doctor was overwhelmed. Because nowhere before; [people] are verging on dangerous [situation]. 

On a stretcher a skeletally thin old man; finally illustrat[ing] the impossibility of living.

Serval dozen families moved, no longer able to make a living off the land. They already relocated  to the overloaded city. The world suggests more than 13 million- including most of those on the margins, might migrate because of [the overwhelming] crises. The forecast is alarming.
