CARRO-YAAMBO, SOMALIA - JUNE 21: Somali women fill water cans tied to a donkey at a traditional cistern for harvesting rainwater, called a berkad, made by the Irish charity Concern-Worldwide as the Horn of Africa faces severe drought in Carro-Yaambo, a village 20 miles west of the capital Hargeisa, Somalia, on June 21, 2017. The United Nations and NGOs have sought to raise resilience in pastoralist communities that have seen their lifeblood herds of camels, goats and sheep decimated by up to 80 percent, leaving 6.7 million people in need of assistance to avoid famine in Somalia and Somaliland.
