The United Nation called help with water shortages in Damascus, where at least four million people in the city and surrounding area have been deprived of water since just before 25 December.

    The UN has rehabilitated and equipped a number of wells in and around the city, which since 22 December have been the sole source of water for the entire city, according to the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA).

    Meanwhile, water authorities had activated emergency places to meet the minimum demands in Damascus city, OCHA said from the UN office in Geneva, with water being delivered on a rotational basis, the United Nation News Center stated.
