Residents of various areas in Kabul say they are facing significant difficulties in securing water due to the escalating water shortage. They note that they rely on water tankers that supply different parts of the city to meet their needs. According to these residents, they spend between 400 and 500 Afghanis weekly to purchase water, but this amount is insufficient for their daily requirements. They warn that water resources are depleting daily, making access to potable water increasingly challenging.
