Communities in East Malaita and East Kwaio are facing water shortages, sparking calls for assistance.

SIBC’s East Malaita stringer Enoch Idui reports, water sources have dried up and people are struggling to have access to water.

Mr. Idui says communities in the highlands have been most affected and the people are concerned.

A highland chief William To’oa appeals for assistance.

“We need things such as tanks and iron roofing to collect rainwater. Our streams have dried up and we are in need of drinking water.”
