A RESIDENT of Vunika in Labasa has appealed to the Government for assistance as the area continues to experience water shortages that have lasted more than four months.
Nileshma Sami said the prolonged shortage had left families desperate, stressing that clean water was a basic necessity they could no longer afford to go without. She said families had been without water for days.
“Access to clean and safe drinking water is a basic human right and shall not be treated as a luxury.”
She said residents wanted immediate action rather than what they described as false promises.
