New Video - Water for Survival in Darfur

| Water is the most basic aspect of aid and something most of us take for granted. In Zalingei, West Darfur, the IRC provides water and promotes hygiene and sanitation to 36,280 displaced people and an additional 15,000 living in the nearby community. Shooting this video, I got a panicky feeling looking out at the arid landscape. Our staff were hard at work locating a new site for a well, but providing more water to more people at long distances (with no end to the conflict in sight) is daunting. How would I feel if my life and safety were threatened on all sides? It astounded me how much of the displaced Darfuris’days are spent just trying to survive. |
