Mohammed Rassoul has been in bed for three months already. Everything is hurting especially his hands and joints. Now that he is no longer able to get up, his 15 year old son has to look after the family. Mohammed Rassoul is very pessimistic about the future: "We used to have four cows, but we had to sell all of them, the last one twenty days ago. The fifteen goats we owned were already sold during the winter". The land, his last possession, only caused him further losses due to the severe drought.
