The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) has revealed that more than half of the residents of Tawila in North Darfur State do not have access to the minimum amount of water necessary for survival.
The World Health Organization defines an individual’s water requirement as approximately 7.5 liters per day, while water shortages lead to disease outbreaks, particularly cholera, in crowded areas such as Tawila, which is under the control of the Sudan Liberation Movement led by Abdel Wahid Mohamed Nur.
The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said today, Wednesday, that a water, sanitation, and hygiene assessment completed earlier this month by UNICEF and its partners in displacement camps reveals alarming conditions.
According to the office, the assessment showed that more than half of the people surveyed do not receive the minimum daily amount of water required for survival, based on World Health Organization standards.
