Restoration of water supplies in Aleppo comes as relief for its residents

United Nations - The restoration of water supplies to the war-torn city of Aleppo has come as a welcome relief to residents whose taps have run dry in recent weeks due to the fighting and frequent power cuts.
The disruption to piped water supplies – which in some cases was deliberately implemented by parties to the conflict — increased the risk of water-borne disease especially among children.
According to UNICEF, the water cuts came while Syrians are suffering the intense summer heat, adding that some neighborhoods have been without running water for nearly three weeks leaving hundreds of thousands of children thirsty, dehydrated and vulnerable to disease.
