Key takeaway Damaged water supply systems, including community schemes and larger networks, are a major concern.
Thousands of children are still without safe water following severe flooding. Damaged water supply systems, including community schemes and larger networks, are a major concern. Sanitation facilities have also been damaged or destroyed, exacerbating the situation.
Many families are currently living in crowded conditions, either in host households or holding centres. This overcrowding is creating an environment where the risk of disease is increasing. The lack of safe water and adequate sanitation is a significant worry, and the situation is being closely monitored.
