Thousands of long-lasting insecticidal nets, or mosquito bed-nettings, were handed out by a U.S. Army Civil Affairs team to the people of Hayo Oda Kebele, Dollo Mena District, Bale Zone, Ethiopia, April 26, 2010.
“We are distributing 35,000 nets to a population of approximately 93,000 people,” said Lieutenant Daniel Deckard, commander of the Civil Affairs team, Combined Joint Task Force-Horn of Africa. “That’s approximately two nets per household,” he said.
