TripoliLibyan markets are witnessing an increasing shortage of bottled drinking water, with half-liter and two-liter bottles disappearing from many points of sale, in addition to a decline in the availability of seven-liter bottles, amid a record increase in prices in some areas.
According to testimonies from shop owners and distributors, the crisis is due to a number of water production factories stopping work, as a result of repeated and long power outages, in addition to the lack of fuel necessary to operate the electric generators that these factories depend on to continue production.
Jalal Al-Araibi, a café owner, said that his shop’s refrigerators ran out of drinking water after distributors informed him that supplies had stopped due to production disruptions in factories affected by the electricity and fuel crisis.
The crisis sparked widespread interaction on social media platforms, as a number of Libyans expressed their dissatisfaction with the increasing service and living crises, in light of the continuing electricity outages and fuel shortages, and the resulting direct impact on the availability of drinking water and a number of basic commodities.
Large areas of Libya are witnessing continuous power outages, while the capital, Tripoli, suffers from long hours of load shedding that may exceed seven hours a day, and sometimes lasts for days in some areas, which has been reflected in the activity of factories and production facilities and affected the abundance of products in the markets.
