Yemen – The people of Hajjah suffer from water scarcity

Hajjah Governorate- Yemen 17/09/2019

Residents of Al-Thiraa village in Haradh district in the northwestern province of Hajjah suffer from water scarcity as the village’s residents travel 3 km on the back of animals in a journey to search for water in nearby ponds to cover their daily needs. Despite their knowledge that this water lacks health standards. The situation is similar in the village of Bani al-Zain in the district of Hiran, adjacent to the Haradh district, where dozens of families are left without drinking water after torrential rains accompanied by thunderstorms that destroyed the only solar power system in their village mid last week, which has increased the suffering of most of its inhabitants, children and women in the search for water.
