In terms of water and sanitation, the population is going directly to the river to fetch water. There is a spring down in the country side. The water points in town were destroyed. There is clearly problems in terms of sanitation/ hygiene among the population, particularly when you look at the condition of the children. During Ethiopian occupation, the population got 4 food rations and since Ethiopians withdraw, they are receiving the monthly food ration from the ICRC in Tsaeda Korso (one time already). The school was also destroyed. 10. Tsaeda Korso Village There is currently approx. 450 people living in this village which is located few kilometers north of Serha village on the main road between Senafe Town and Zalambesa. The population configuration is quite the same as in Serha. This village is intact except for the 5 water pumps which were destroyed. The population is currently going to Serha to fetch water from the river. The ICRC monthly food distribution for 68 villages is currently done in this village (one time already). Like for Serha, the population reported 4 food distributions during Ethiopian occupation. The school is close. Prior to the last offensive, the population was going to Forto health post (managed by the MOH). During Ethiopian occupation, a health post was functioning and supported by the ICRC in this location. The building which was used at that time is still intact. Consultation room, dressing room and pharmacy were operational. Emergency cases were transferred to Adi Grat. This health post closed when the Ethiopian forces withdraw from the area (19/02/2001) and now, the population is coming to Senafe Town for health services. Polio vaccination was also done during Ethiopian occupation. Three people over 50 years of age died in the past ten months in the area (chronicle disease cases). But the nutritional & health status of this population seems stable and no specific morbidity pattern was reported to us. The main issue now is access to health services (like for Serha village) since the population have to walk to Senafe Town to get medical care (more then two hours of walk). Here also, problems seems to be more related to the water & sanitation situation (access to safe & potable water, hygiene conditions). 11. Forto Village This village is located few kilometers north of Tsaeda Korso village on the main road between Senafe Town and Zalambessa. The distance between Forto and Tsaeda Korso is of approx. 10 kilometers. The population of the village and surroundings if of approx. 500 people. An MOH health post was operational in this village prior to the last offensive. The structure needs rehabilitation work (roof, windows, doors) but the structure is intact. Same situation for the school, which is close. Private houses are also intact. The humanitarian picture (food, health, nutrition, sanitation/ hygiene) is the same as the one described for Tsaeda Korso village. In terms of access to safe & potable water, the population is fetching water from a well in the village, but this well needs rehabilitation work as soon as possible since it is open & not protected (animals are going there, the distribution area is very dirty, etc.).
