Libreville's water shortage emergency

First aired Latest aired

Gone quiet since

Where it stands

Gabon declared a state of emergency over a months-long water shortage that has left taps dry in Libreville, driven by low rainfall, failing pipes and increased demand. The government had yet to replace aging pipes or repair water infrastructure; the reports do not say the shortage has been resolved or the emergency lifted.
