When an epidemic of acute watery diarrhoea broke out in many parts of Ethiopia, the ICRC provided support for medical facilities fighting the disease. It set up water installations in several health-care centres, kept them supplied with water and delivered chlorination products to them. It also installed additional water tanks to deal with emergencies.
