Arabic version: تونس تستعرض صيفاً من شحّ المياه وانقطاعات الكهرباء

According to France 24, millions of Tunisians were affected by repeated water and electricity outages during the summer. The shortages also led to long queues for bottled water.

Heat compounded the pressure, with poultry farms destroyed by high temperatures. Observers cited years of underinvestment as the cause of the water and electricity shortages.

The water shortage eased in late August after authorities sent millions of bottles of water to stores. However, many people remain concerned that similar shortages could return next summer.
