UNICEF warns water attacks deepen humanitarian crisis in conflict zones
A new UNICEF report documents a threefold increase in reported attacks damaging water and sanitation infrastructure in conflict settings between 2021 and 2025. It examines 23 countries and territories. Children face heightened risks of infectious disease and malnutrition as access to safe water declines, while hospitals and other essential services lose the infrastructure they depend on. Only 26 per cent of the required funding for coordinated humanitarian WASH programmes had been secured for 2026.
