Summary

[edit]
Description
English: A woman scoops water in a dry riverbed near Kataboi village in remote Turkana in northern Kenya.
In 40 degree heat and with no access to clean water, she resorts to collecting unfiltered water for her family in containers.
The lack of rain this year across the Horn of Africa has resulted in failed crops, lack of water and death of livestock. The Government of Kenya declared the drought a national disaster as 3.5 million people in the country are in need of emergency assistance.

Français : Une femme collecte de l'eau dans un trou creusé dans un lit d'une rivière à sec, près du village de Kataboi non loin de Turkana (nord du Kenya)
Par une température de 40°C, sans accès à l'eau potable, elle et sa famille ne disposent que de cette eau non filtrée
Le manque de pluie cette année là dans la Corne de l'Afrique a en outre induit de mauvaises récoltes, une sécheresse et la mort du bétail. Le gouvernement du Kenya a déclaré cette sécheresse "désastre national" (En Sept 2011, 3,5 millions de personnes dans le pays nécessitaient une aide d'urgence)
