The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) says that currently 21 million people across Afghanistan do
not have access to clean drinking water.On Tuesday this United Nations agency said on X, formerly Twitter, that one of the visible effects
of climate change in Afghanistan is the lack of drinking water.According to OCHA, in 30 provinces of Afghanistan, the quality of drinking
water is very low and most of the people are at risk of various diseases.Earlier this year, the United Nations Children&s Fund said that 42
percent of Afghanistan&s water resources have dried up due to a long drought in the country, which has left people with a severe shortage of
clean drinking water.The post UN: 21 million people in Afghanistan do not have access to clean drinking water first appeared on Ariana News.
