This week I checked the emergency water supply in Gode Town after typhoid outbreak> Gode Town: ca. 50’000 inhabitants in the heart of Somali-Region, but no water supply except the river, no asphalt road, only heat and sand. But fortunately the River Shebele. 
The river water is pumped and treated (flocculation with settlement and chlorination) and distributed to the donkey carts for free with the aim to provide thypoid free water.
The donkey carts are the mobile pipe network for the water supply... not very clean and hygienic; hence the effect of the emergency water supply might be doubtable. However, were interesting days. (All photos 24.2.2011 Gode Town at Shebelle River)
