advertisements Turkey's State Water Works Agency (DSI) launched on Wednesday efforts to drill a water well in Somalia.Seven-member DSI team, headed by geologist Musa Yilmaz, started to drill a water well near a Turkish Red Crescent tent-site in the Somali capital of Mogadishu. DSI experts said they would drill up to 100 meters below the ground to reach potable water, adding that they expected to complete the project within a week. Somalia is facing with one of the worst droughts in the past 60 years. 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. Tens of thousands of people have so far been displaced due to the humanitarian situation in the region. |
