Suggested News:
It has been stated that Omorate town, which is at risk of flooding due to the rising levels of the Omo River and Lake Turkana, is on the verge of becoming history.
Omorate town, the capital of Dasenech woreda, has long been said to be at risk of flooding due to the annual rising of Lake Turkana and the Omo River.
Although a temporary protective dam was built to prevent the approaching water from inundating the town, the Deputy Head of the zonal Disaster Risk Bureau, Nok Nang'a Morone, stated that they are concerned because the water is coming in large volumes and could breach the dam and flood the town.
It is said that the filling of Lake Turkana, which was 1.5 kilometers away from reaching the main town, Omorate, at the beginning of Meskerem 2017 E.C., after flooding nearby woredas in the South Omo zone, is now only a few hundred meters away.
When asked, "Haven't you requested support from the federal government?", the Deputy Head responded: "We have repeatedly informed the federal government, specifically the Disaster Risk Management Commission. The resident has also invited the Prime Minister to come and see the problem firsthand, but we haven't received a substantial response."
They also reported that due to last year's flooding, they relocated over 81,000 residents who were displaced from their areas to dry grounds and are currently supporting them.
We heard from the official that if the rising water level continues and destroys the barrier currently under construction, they are preparing to relocate the hundreds of thousands of residents of Omorate town to another location.
The official, who pleaded for the federal government to look into the problem and provide them with a solution, said, "The effort we are making is becoming beyond our capacity. Our capacity is exhausted. Help us before our town is lost."
