ILNA news agency has reported on the ongoing water crisis in Zahedan and some areas of Sistan and Baluchestan province, stating that a number of citizens in certain neighborhoods of the city are facing water cuts for three to four consecutive days.

According to the report published on Thursday, July 23, many families are forced to buy water from private tankers to meet their needs, paying between one to one and a half million tomans each time they fill their home tank.

ILNA also quoted citizens as saying that some families, due to their inability to afford the cost of purchasing water from private tankers, have to get by for several days with just a few jugs of water.

Mohammad Reza Koochakzai, a member of the Islamic Council of Zahedan, also confirmed the water crisis in an interview with ILNA, stating that the city is facing a shortage of about one thousand liters of water per second, which is nearly one-third of its water needs.
