| Ethiopia: Humanitarian Bulletin - Weekly Humanitarian Highlights in Ethiopia, 30 April 2012 Mon, 30 Apr 2012 13:12:07 +0000 Source: UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs Country: Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia, South Sudan (Republic of) WASH Update As a result of improved belg/guu/ganna rainfall (both in terms of coverage and intensity) over the past couple of weeks, water availability has improved in most of the chronically water insecure parts of the country. As government and humanitarian partners are reviewing water trucking requirements, interventions have been scaled down from 120 trucks operating nationwide two weeks ago to 87 trucks, including in Somali Region (25, down from 45); Oromia Region (28, down from 36); and SNNPR (18, down from 22). Trucking activities remain unchanged in Afar (10) and Tigray (6) Regions. Despite good rainfall in Southern Tigray zone of Tigray Region since 30 March, water availability has not improved. The region?s Eastern, Southern and South-Eastern zones have only received erratic and below-normal rainfall over the same period. In Afar, no rainfall was recorded in areas where water trucking is currently underway. Meanwhile, all trucking activities have ceased in Amhara Region due to good rainfall in affected kebeles of Minjar Shekore woreda. UNICEF plans to assess water needs in Amhara in areas that have so far received no or below-normal rainfall. For more information, contact: awesterbeek@unicef.org |
