Zimbabwe Struggles to Provide Clean Water During Pandemic

Columbus Mavhunga

   HARARE, ZIMABABWE - City authorities in Zimbabwe's capital say they are
   facing a severe water shortage, and public health concerns, as water
   levels in dams supplying Harare have "drastically" dropped during the
   COVID-19 pandemic. Charities have stepped-up free water deliveries to
   poor neighborhoods but, authorities say social distancing is a
   challenge at public water points.

   Recurring droughts and failure to import water chemicals has resulted
   in some parts of Harare without tap water.
