Turkish State Water Works (DSI) will start distributing potable water to Somali people from well opened in the country.<\/p>\n
Turkey’s Forestry & Water Works Ministry said on Saturday that DSI team had drilled a water well near a tent-site in Somalia, and found water in 90 meters dept.<\/p>\n
“10 liters of potable water has been provided from the well per second,” the ministry said.<\/p>\n
The ministry said DSI teams would start distributing potable water to the tent-site as of Saturday.<\/p>\n
Potable water for 17,000 people can be provided from the well a day.<\/p>\n
Thus, there will no more be any need for water tanks in the tent-site.<\/p>\n
DSI will launch efforts to drill another water well near an area where Turkey will build its embassy.<\/p>\n
Somalia is facing with one of the worst droughts in the past 60 years.<\/p>\n
The epicenter of the drought lies on the three-way border shared by Kenya, Ethiopia and Somalia, a nomadic region where families heavily depend on the health of their livestock. Uganda and Djibouti have also been hit by the disaster.<\/p>\n
Tens of thousands of people have so far been displaced due to the humanitarian situation in the region.<\/p>\n
