The drinking water crisis in Adila, East Darfur, has worsened. As the crisis enters its ninth day, two more water engines have broken down.
“There are no indications that the problem will be solved soon,” a resident of Adila reported to Dabanga.
“The situation even deteriorated after two more engines broke down. “Six out of the nine water pumps are now not working anymore. The price of a barrel of water on the market has reached SDG40 ($6.65), because of its scarcity.”
He said that the people of Adila queue all night for those water pumps that are still operating. “Even then, they do not obtain enough water to last the whole day”.
On behalf of the population of Adila, he called on the East Darfur state authorities and “the benevolent” to expedite repair of the engines.
