UN Report Warns Growing Number of People Face Water Scarcity
UN Report Warns , Growing Number of People , Face Water Scarcity.
On March 21, the United Nations released a report warning
that 26% of the world's population, approximately
2 billion people, lack access to safe drinking water.
.
According to NPR, the report comes
on the eve of the U.N.'s first conference on
the topic of water in over 45 years.
.
The U.N.'s World Water Development Report 2023 revealed that 46% of people lack access to basic
sanitation globally, equal to about 3.6 billion people.
.
NPR reports that the U.N.
Has laid out
a goal to ensure that all people in the world
have access to clean water by 2030.
According to Richard Connor, editor-in-chief of the
report, meeting the goal will require somewhere
between $600 billion and $1 trillion per year.
.
Connor said that with 70% of the world's
water use going to agriculture, it becomes
critical for irrigation to be more efficient.
.
According to the U.N.'s Educational, Scientific and Cultural
Organization (UNESCO) report, as climate change
continues, water scarcity is expected to increase.
.
Seasonal water scarcity will increase in
regions where it is currently abundant â
such as Central Africa, East Asia and parts
of South America â and worsen in regions
where water is already in short supply, such
as the Middle East and the Sahara in Africa, World Water Development Report 2023, via NPR.
An increase in intensity or frequency of droughts
and 'heat extremes' can be expected in most
regions as a direct result of climate change.
The UNESCO report states that an average
of 10% of the world's population already lives
in an area with high or critical water stress.
Europe is facing a record-breaking heatwave with unprecedented temperatures sweeping across multiple countries. Paris has closed the top level of the Eiffel Tower due to metal expansion, while Switzerland shut down a nuclear reactor as rivers overheated. France issued red alerts in several regions, and Spain is battling wildfires with fatalities reported. The U.K. logged its second-warmest June since 1884. Experts blame climate change for the worsening crisis, as Europe now warms at twice the global rate. The U.N. warns this extreme heat threatens fundamental rights and demands urgent climate action.

Elon Musk has stepped down from leading the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), handing the reins to conservative policy strategist Russell Vought. A key Trump ally, Vought is best known for shaping Project 2025 and pushing aggressive spending cuts and federal downsizing. He aims to revive Trumpâs Schedule F and slash budgets at agencies like USAID and NPR. Musk, who reportedly wants to focus on Tesla and SpaceX, had worked closely with Vought during DOGEâs early days. Critics warn Vought's Christian nationalist leanings and military spending cuts may spark major backlash.

Tensions flare in the Middle East after Yemen's Houthi rebels launched a ballistic missile towards Israel, triggering air raid sirens and prompting a sharp U.S. response. In a fiery statement, U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee threatened to unleash B-2 Spirit stealth bombers on Yemen, escalating fears of a broader conflict. With Israel intercepting the missile and vowing retaliation, could the region be on the brink of a multi-front war? The B-2, capable of deep-penetration precision strikes, now looms as a symbol of American resolve. This video breaks down the attack, the U.S. warning, and the rising specter of military escalation from Gaza to Sanaa.

sraelâs Defense Minister Israel Katz has issued a chilling warning to Yemenâs Houthi rebels after a ballistic missile was intercepted by Israeli defenses late Tuesday. Katz declared, âYemen will be treated like Tehran,â referencing recent joint Israeli-U.S. airstrikes on suspected nuclear sites in Iran. As air raid sirens rang out across central Israel and civilians scrambled for shelters, Katz warned: âWhoever raises a hand against Israel â that hand will be cut off.â
The intercepted missile, launched from Houthi-controlled Yemen, marks yet another escalation in the widening Middle East conflict. With Iran-backed militias in Lebanon, Iraq, and now Yemen intensifying attacks, analysts warn of a growing multi-front war. Will Israel carry out a preemptive strike on Yemen? Could U.S. bombers return to the skies?
