The Sudanese capital, Khartoum, has been facing a severe water crisis since the outbreak of war two years ago, with the majority of neighborhoods experiencing an almost complete disruption in access to drinking water, according to humanitarian organizations.
Citizens are forced to stand in long lines from early morning to secure barrels of water, while entire neighborhoods — including women and children — have become hostages to the rare water trucks.
Residents in several parts of the capital have complained about the worsening water situation, with no solution in sight any time soon.
Following the Sudanese army’s liberation of Khartoum from the grip of the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), thousands of families have returned to their homes in the city.
Khartoum continues to suffer from persistent crises in basic services such as water and electricity, in addition to environmental issues and the challenge of removing war debris.
