Amidst the crises facing the Middle East and North Africa region, a recent report sounds the alarm regarding the "water stress" dilemma, revealing that countries in the region are increasingly vulnerable to water scarcity risks in the coming years.

The report's data indicates that 25 countries, mostly from the Middle East and North Africa region, are currently experiencing severe water stress each year, with 83 percent of the region's population facing water-availability issues.

Among the list of these 25 countries are Bahrain, Kuwait, Lebanon, Oman, Qatar, followed by the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Libya, Yemen, Jordan, Tunisia, Iraq, and Syria. Morocco and Algeria are listed as "high water-stress countries."

The report warns that if current conditions persist in these mentioned countries, 100 percent of their populations will experience extremely high water stress by the year 2050.

The report notes that water stress in these countries is primarily due to a decrease in water supply, coupled with increased demand for household, agricultural, and industrial use.

It highlights that the current problems not only affect consumers and water-dependent economic activities but also have implications for political stability in the region. The report suggests that worsening water stress could lead to tensions and conflicts.
