Turkey's water works agency has opened two more water wells
in a Mogadishu refugee camp that houses 20 thousand Somalis who fled
drought and violence to the country's capital as part of continued
Turkish relief efforts.
The wells were the latest of a series of others that provide water
for a total of 126 thousand Somalis living in tent sites in Mogadishu,
Ismail Sevim, the project manager, told the Anadolu Agency.
"People living in this camp had to carry water from another well two
kilometers away. Now they are happy that they have their own water,"
said Mehmet Citil, Somali coordinator of the Turkish charity
organization Helping Hand.
