New mothers at rural hospital running out of water and power tell of their struggles as health workers leave for safer areas
In times of extreme water shortages, like now, health workers ask mothers help out. “I was rushing with my children to get water, then I felt some sharp pains. I knew I wouldn’t get to the hospital in time,” says Khalif.
Modogashe has had to cancel some of its critical outreach work because nearly half the community health volunteers who run the programme have left because of drought, leaving the service overstretched. Unicef said about 3,000 men, women and children have arrived in the town this year from Wajir, another northern region severely affected by the drought. The UN agency estimates that about 80% were unwell or had injuries when they arrived.
