Congolese refugees at Gihembe Camp in North Province have decried the incessant shortage of water that broke out two months ago, saying it has made their lives hard.
Officials at the camp that is currently home to more than 11,000 refugees, said the crisis started in January.
Marc Munyakabuga, the camp leader, said poor sanitation arising from the shortage of water has led to the increase in diarrhoea cases.
The aquifer that provides water to the Gaza Strip may become unusable within four years and irreversibly damaged by 2020 unless pumping stops and major infrastructure upgrades are made.
