The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) says nearly 8,000 people in Badakhshan, Baghlan and Takhar provinces have gained access to clean drinking water services.<\/p>\n
The programme, funded by the Afghanistan Humanitarian Fund, includes the construction of water supply networks and systems in some areas of these provinces.<\/p>\n
In its report, OCHA warned that millions of people across Afghanistan still face a shortage of safe drinking water, and that securing it has become a serious daily challenge for families.<\/p>\n
The international agency stressed the urgent need for sustained investment and predictable financial aid to deliver essential assistance to vulnerable communities.<\/p>\n
The shortage of drinking water in Afghanistan is one of the country\u2019s pressing infrastructure problems, with a direct impact on people\u2019s health and lives, and has so far remained without sufficient attention from Taliban authorities.<\/p>\n
The lack of coherent plans and broad financial support has worsened the inability to improve infrastructure and basic services in the water sector.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
