Summary
| 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.

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) Photo: Marisol Grandon / Département pour le développement international Terms of use This image is posted under a Creative Commons - Attribution Licence, in accordance with the Open Government Licence.
