| Ethiopia: Humanitarian Bulletin - Weekly Humanitarian Highlights in Ethiopia, 21 November 2011 Mon, 21 Nov 2011 14:31:08 +0000 Source: UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs Country: Ethiopia, Somalia, Sudan (the) WASH Update The strong performance of the deyr/hagaya (October to December) rains continues to improve water and pasture availability in most drought-affected southern and southeastern parts of the country. Areas that had been experiencing continued drought conditions in East and West Harerge zones of Oromia have also received some rain in the past week. Drought conditions persist, however, in pockets of northern Afar and northeastern Tigray regions. As a result of the rains, overall water trucking requirements continue to decrease. As of 15 November, 22 trucks were required countrywide, with 20 trucks operational, compared to 28 trucks required and 26 operational two weeks before. No further water trucking needs have been identified in the Somali Region outside of the refugee camp complex in Dollo Ado, and requirements have reduced to just one truck in Oromia Region. The water truck operating in Oromia is supporting nutrition interventions in West Arsi zone. In parts of northern Ethiopia, however, needs continue to increase, with the number of trucks required increasing from 11 to 13 in northern Afar, and remaining stable at eight in Tigray. Meanwhile, back in the Somali region, the NGOs Save the Children UK, ADRA, and CHF continue to rehabilitate and/or develop sustainable water schemes in chronically drought-affected areas. An inventory of motorized water schemes in four drought-prone zones of Oromia (Bale, Borena, Guji and East Harerge) is also currently underway.
