[7-16-04] A storm approaches the Kounoungo Camp in Eastern Chad. As of July 19, 2004, there were 10,918 displaced Sudanese out of an approximated 2.3 million affected by the Khartoum Government-sponsored war on Darfur. Women are traditionally responsible for fetching water on behalf of their families, both inside of the camp and outside. The water bladder from which the water is drawn holds 5,000 gallons and is turned on for several hours twice each day – once in the morning and once in the afternoon. The camp has three wells from which the entire population will be able to get water once the pipes have been fully placed. Work is underway. The dry local conditions around the camps make drilling for water a difficult and often unproductive enterprise.
