The United Nations Children’s Fund revealed that more than half of the displaced people in the camps of Tawila do not receive the minimum amount of water necessary for survival.
The report explained that most families survive on only 8 to 9 liters of water per person per day — an amount barely sufficient for drinking and cooking — leaving virtually nothing for basic personal hygiene needs, at a time when demand is worsening with the arrival of summer and temperatures rising to unprecedented levels.
As summer approaches, suffering continues to intensify, temperatures rise further, thirst grows more severe, and the displaced population’s need for water becomes increasingly urgent.
Thousands of displaced people in Tawila are still living in camps built from local materials such as straw. Most of these camps were established on agricultural land lacking basic services, including clean water supplies and sanitation networks.
