Sudan, Darfur, Gereida. An ICRC engineer explaining to a local employee how to check the chlorine level in an emergency water tank.

The ICRC supplies drinking water to the 120,000 displaced people living in Gereida camp and to the resident population in the nearby town.

In Darfur, the ICRC renovates water stations in camps for the displaced and along the migration routes used by nomadic communities; it also carries out repair and maintenance work and upgrades on the rural water points and urban systems that hundreds of thousands of people depend on for their drinking water.
