It pointed out that the pollution leads to illnesses such as gastrointestinal disorders, urinary tract infections, hemolytic uremic syndrome, and even blood poisoning when the bacteria enter the bloodstream. The observatory called for the convening of an emergency session to discuss the causes of the pollution and to implement strict measures to address it, amid the worsening condition of water sources due to the accumulation of heavy metals and toxic substances.
