Ethiopia, 2006: People from the Borena tribe drive their camels and livestock across parched, stony ground in Dire District of the southern Oromiya Region, one of the areas hardest hit by drought. They are making their way to wells in the Goraye Crater, one of the few remaining water sources in the district. Traditional water sources have dried up, forcing pastoralist communities, to walk vast distances in search of remaining functioning wells. Entire herds have been wiped out.
