Kariya Mohamed Abbakar, 50, from Jebel Saiey, North Darfur, pushes her wheelbarrow full of jerrycans worth of water as she returns to her shelter from the nearest water point at the Abu Shouk camp for internally displaced people, in El-Fasher March 19, 2013. Abbakar, who has been living at the camp for the past 10 years, says that the water point is a long walk from her shelter and that because of the labour involved and the cost of the water, she and her family must limit their consumption of water to 80 litres per week, while a typical person in a developed nation elsewhere in the world would use, on average, 400 litres of water per day. International Water Day is held on March 22. Picture taken March 19, 2013.
