AlMzeirib community, south of Syria, has been grappling with an acute dearth in drinking water after the local lake–the sole water supplier for hundreds of families in the area—has dried out as a result of the uncontrolled excavation of artesian water wells.
According to AGPS on-the-spot reporter, over 100 artesian water wells have been dug up in the area. The manipulation of water prices by the well owners has made the situation far worse for AlMzeirib community.
Residents of Daraa Camp have also been enduring a severe water crisis as the Syrian government continues to cut off water supplies to the area for 1,202 days in a row.
Those stranded in Daraa called on UNRWA, among other concerned parties and international institutions, to urgently step in so as to work out the crisis before it is too late.
Daraa residents further urged the International Red Cross Committee, which is responsible for securing clean water to war-affected zones, to assume its duty vis-à-vis the crisis.
