Ezekiel 33:6 But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman’s hand.
The Middle East, home to 6.3 percent of the world’s population and containing only 1.4 percent of the world’s renewable freshwater, is experiencing an increasing water scarcity crisis.
Water scarcity is now unprecedented as is its impact on children, the poor, and the most vulnerable communities.
The Climate that has changed at the end of the world, is having a significant impact on the already fragile situation, resulting in less rain for agriculture and the deterioration of the quality of freshwater reserves due to saltwater intrusion and pollution.
Water requirements for food production are enormous. Growing one kilogram of wheat requires 1,250 liters of water. Feeding a single cow to produce one kilogram of beef requires 15,000 liters of water.
Population growth and its associated increase in food and energy demand are contributing to a surge in water demand. When water becomes so scarce that livelihoods are no longer viable, families migrate to urban areas, adding an additional burden onto already underserved communities.
A report by the Carnegie Endowment in February 2022 showed that water scarcity is now threatening to trigger violent conflict in the Middle East and North Africa, as MENA is projected to be the first region in the world to “effectively run out of water.”
The region’s inhabitants, are currently on track to experience water insecurity by 2025.
Nearly 9 out of 10 children in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) live in areas of high or extremely high-water stress with serious consequences on their health, nutrition, cognitive development, and future livelihoods.
Nearly 66 million people in the region lack basic sanitation and very low proportions of wastewater are adequately treated according to a new UNICEF report.
Receiving less rain for agriculture and the deterioration of the quality of freshwater reserves due to the movement of saline water into freshwater aquifers and increased pollution concentrations.
“In many countries of the region, children are increasingly having to walk long distances just to fetch water instead of spending that time at school or with their friends playing and learning,” said Chris Cormency, UNICEF.
2 Chronicles 7:13 If I shut up heaven that there be no rain, or if I command the locusts to devour the land, or if I send diseases among my people;
2 Chronicles 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
