United Nations: UN experts have warned that the lack of drinking water and sanitation infrastructure is critical around the world and is getting worse. Millions of people around the world do not have enough clean water or sanitation infrastructure to help keep humans healthy by removing waste and debris from their homes, a UN report has said. It states that lack of drinking water and sanitation infrastructure is causing millions of deaths worldwide.
Kaveh Madani, director of the global think tank ‘United Nations University’, said in the report released on the second day of the UN water conference that the world needs to “talk about water issues and take them seriously” to achieve the global development goals. There has been a call to take from. Madani told reporters at the UN headquarters in New York that “there are some alarming figures and consequences in the report”. The report states that lack of access to basic water-related services kills more people globally than floods, droughts and other disasters combined, even in times of ‘global warming’.
