A drought during June 2008 in this woreda forced 68,400 residents of 13 kebeles to relocate to the town of Erebti, although the kebeles of Haitan and Aleyta were the worst affected. Some of the displaced families have sought refuge at the farmers’ training center in Erebti while others are living in tarpaulin shelters erected nearby.

Moreover, since the arrival of the affected populations to the town, water shortages had increased.[1]
