Afghanistan, Jan. 19 -- The European Union says worsening drought in Afghanistan is cutting access to safe water for millions, prompting emergency well construction efforts.
The European Union's humanitarian aid office for Asia said worsening drought in Afghanistan is making access to water increasingly difficult for millions of people across the country.
In a statement on Monday, the EU office said it is working with the NGO Solidarity to construct water wells equipped with hand pumps to help supply clean drinking water to local communities.
The EU said the initiative aims to provide safe and reliable water to vulnerable populations, particularly in drought-affected rural areas where traditional water sources have dried up.
