Al-Abyad pointed out that “the station has the ability to provide safe drinking water to Tripoli and the northern regions, and the important thing is to secure electricity so that it can pump water, otherwise citizens will have to search for other unsecured sources.”
He added, “We do not forget that Tripoli has previously suffered from a virus or hepatitis virus, so we focus on the continuity of the work of the Water Authority, and we stress the Ministry of Energy and Water to secure electricity for the continuity of work and water pumping.”
He appealed to UNICEF and United Nations supporters for “greater support, especially in this circumstance (cholera), because in the absence of safe and clean water, the spread of the epidemic will be rapid.”
The minister sent a message to citizens who have wells to “cooperate with the authority or municipalities to examine their water in laboratories, and ensure that it is free of germs,” referring to an “initiative by the Ministry of Health that will be announced later to help citizens and ensure that the wells are free of germs.”
