No Tap Water in the 21st Century?

Amazing. We live in the 21st century and Jeddah still doesn’t have water piped into its houses through a standard waterworks system. We’re still sending trucks from central distribution centers to deliver water to separate underground cisterns for each building.

Water is not a luxury; it is a necessity. It is vital that we come up with solutions to this growing concern. People in Jeddah have been known to go for days without water, especially in the poorer southern regions of the city.
No comment necessay I think, for when a country punishes people for doing good deeds and prevents them from saving lives, it is not amazing to be living in medieval conditions!
