"Over 60 per cent of people in Central and Western provinces and a quarter of urban Lusaka households lack reliable access to safe water". We have months to go before the rains come and hopefully end the drought in Zambia. lnkd.in/dBtkpHxj @reliefweb @unicefzambia

The cholera outbreak in #Zambia is concerning, with the number of cases disproportionately affecting children and doubling in the last few days. @unicefzambia is providing supplies to help the #WASH and #health sectors to respond. More resources are urgently needed.

Essential supplies - including clean water - are rapidly running out in Gaza.
A UNICEF-supported desalination plant is providing safe water and UN trucks have entered Gaza with bottled water.
But the needs are immense. We need unrestricted humanitarian access throughout Gaza.

It's ticking away - TIME - and more than ever, we need #ClimateActionNow! βIn #Zambia, climate change is defined by water. Too much or too little water can lead to waterborne & vector diseases, drought, floods, food insecurity, & a child rights crisis.β - Chief of WASH @Emily_PE
