Celebrated on Wednesday, the humanitarian organization that fights against the injustice of poverty and inequality launched a fundraiser (“Donate water, save a life”) with some excellent testimonials
Creepy numbers: still today 1 in 4 people in the world do not have access to sources of clean water for drinking or washing. Half of the world’s population – over 3.6 billion people – cannot count on adequate sanitation services. In countries affected by conflicts, natural disasters or the climate crisis, the lack of water multiplies the victims, exposing the populations to epidemics such as cholera, Covid or typhoid. Dirty or unsafe water can be up to 20 times deadlier than direct violence in protracted conflict settings such as Syria, Yemen or Ukraine, particularly affecting children and women. Tomorrow is World Water Day and Oxfam Italia – a humanitarian organization that fights against the injustice of poverty and inequality – has launched the fundraising campaign “Donate water, save a life”.
