Surviving the Sudan Conflict: Drinking from the Nile.
As fighting continues in Sudan's capital, Khartoum, many families are running out of water and food due to the bombing of key infrastructure. With no running water, people are flocking to the River Nile to collect water for drinking and other purposes. Although some neighborhoods still have access to water, many are boiling the Nile water before consuming it. A report by Unicef and the Sudanese government in 2017 warned of increasing water-related health risks due to the lack of drinking water and sewage or agriculture drainage water treatment.
