Residents of Kabul’s District 5 have raised alarm over a worsening water crisis, complaining that they lack daily access to clean drinking water, Tolo News reported.

Locals said dug wells have dried up and government-supplied pipelines are providing water only intermittently.

Several parts of the Afghan capital are currently facing shortages, according to the report.

Naveed Rahman, a resident of District 5, told Tolo News: “Government-supplied water comes through the pipes only two to three times a week, and people are struggling with water shortages.”

Another resident, Mohammad Mokhtar, echoed the concern. “In District 5 of Kabul city, we are facing severe water shortages and cannot meet our needs with such a limited supply,” he said.
