We, district authorities, undersigned traditional leaders, politicians, religious leaders, professionals, businessmen women and youth and local NGO’s of Alula and Bargaal districts,  like to inform you that  the communities are suffering from serious droughts.

The people are vulnerable of threat caused by drought due to lack of food, shelter and medicine. Livestock are also dying of lack of water, diseases and pasture. Many of pastoral communities are moving to the villages and cities to get shelter and food.
