A woman in El Fasher, North Darfur, uses a Water Roller for easily and efficiently carrying water. With its large drum capacity (usually 75 litres), the device frees women and children from having to spend a large portion of every day dedicated to collecting water for their households. The African Union-United Nations Hybrid Operation in Darfur (UNAMID) has distributed some 3,000 such rollers across Darfur.

18,000 more people reportedly recently arrived in Nyal payam (county) in search of safety and security due to the conflict between the South Sudan government and the armed opposition forces. Fighting resumed last August despite a signed peace accord, forcing South Sudanese to flee in search of safety, assistance, and protection, according to the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA). Together, the World Food Programme (WFP) and United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) provide assistance with food and nutrition, as well as childhood education.

Headline Water is Vital for Life

Caption Description Clean water is vital to human life. No one could survive it for more than a few days. Although the earth’s fresh water reserves are plentiful, over ninety-eight per cent of the supple is locked into polar ice-caps and glaciers or underground aquifers. Both industrial and developing countries are becoming increasingly concerned over meeting their domestic, agricultural and industrial demands for water and are in unanimous agreement on the need to work together to make clean water available to everyone. The United Nations General Assembly has designated the 1980’s as the “International Drinking Water Supply and Sanitation Decade” with the goal of providing clean water and adequate sanitation to all by 1990.
