The wells were the latest of a series of others that provide water for a total of 126 thousand Somalis living in tent sites in Mogadishu, Ismail Sevim, the project manager, told the Anadolu Agency.

Turkey's water works agency has opened two more water wells in a Mogadishu refugee camp that houses 20 thousand Somalis who fled drought and violence to the country's capital as part of continued Turkish relief efforts.

The wells were the latest of a series of others that provide water for a total of 126 thousand Somalis living in tent sites in Mogadishu, Ismail Sevim, the project manager, told the Anadolu Agency.

"People living in this camp had to carry water from another well two kilometers away. Now they are happy that they have their own water," said Mehmet Citil, Somali coordinator of the Turkish charity organization Helping Hand.
