According to Table 14, the two studied villages experienced no significant loss in camels during the 2005-2006 droughts. But Morulem village appears to have been hit by drought harder than Lokichar village. This is demonstrated by the fact that in Morulem, livestock losses per household were 58, 62.5, and 73.7 percent for cattle, sheep and goats, and donkeys respectively, while each household in Lokichar experienced 47.8, 50, and 57 percentage loss for cattle, sheep and goats, and donkeys respectively. Therefore, it could be summarised that the impact of the 2005-2006 drought was different in the two studied villages with Morulem households suffering more in terms of livestock loss than Lokichar households. 225
