Drought response lags behind need in southern Angola
Water is an important source used by africans to complete daily tasks such as cooking, drinking, and to wash themselves with. However angola has been stricken by a drought in certain areas so water sources are becoming more scarce. Most families have to make a three and a half hour trip to a well that was dug, and they go there twice a day for water. The drought has had an affect on the people and animals that they use for farming. Its estimated that it has affected 1.5 million people in 5 different cities in Angola. Distribution of food and water should be underway but they are still looking to receive government assistance.
