25 July 2011. Kodiel: Distribution of 40,000 liters of water among the local community in El Srief (North Darfur), that includes Shiero, Metwier, Eata Ibrahim, Ahmed, Ali and Kodiel villages. The nearest water point is 15 kilometers away and the women have to spend 6 hours a day to collect the water for their families. Due to the drought, the community leaders report that the lack of water is severe in the area and it specially affects children and sick people. This water distribution was part of a DDR (Disarmament, Demobilization and Reintegration) outreach activity, organized by UNAMID, with the support of UNDP, UNICEF, North Sudan DDR Commission and the local NGO Friends of Peace and Development Organization (FPDO). The DDR activity promoted messages of disarmament and security arm control among the population, historically controlled by SLA / Free Will faction and currently with few individual armed actions.
