ACTNews, RAKHINE - Construction of the Waqf Well in U Yin Thar Village,
Sittwe, Rakhine, continues as it was deemed essential. The locals have been
living in a water crisis for years.
Firdaus Guritno
from the Global Humanity Response - Aksi Cepat Tanggap reported that
construction continued in the first week of November. "The conditions are
still very limited, for example, there are 2,600 families in the area, but only
two wells are available that can support only 50 families. Their needs are far
from being sufficiently met,” said Firdaus, Friday (11/13).
Pump wells or
tube wells are wells that can only last for a maximum period of 4 years.
Firdaus said that many water sources have dried up, rendering the old wells
unusable.
Water crisis is
one of the problems faced by the Rohingyas, both those living in Rakhine State,
Myanmar, and Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh, "To alleviate their problems, we
need your continuous support. We hope that your assistance will solve their
problem,” concluded Firdaus. []
