A man holds an empty cup as he waits for purified water in the remote village of Saraf Saeed in southeast Sudan, close to the Ethiopian border August 24, 2007. Three of the village's five natural wells have been contaminated in recent weeks by floodwaters. Mustafa Elsayed Elkhalil, health minister for the Al-Gadarif federal state which governs Saraf Saeed, says the water, which is supposed to be a source of life, is the "real source of our health problems".
