Libya protests over outages and water costs
Libya is experiencing widespread protests due to ongoing power outages and rising drinking water prices, amid a severe heatwave sweeping the country. Residents are suffering from long power cuts that can last up to seven hours daily, prompting some to use generators to prevent spoilage of their goods. Despite having large oil reserves, the electrical grid faces a lack of investments and political divisions, leading to a decline in services. The fuel crisis has also halted water bottling factories, worsening the water crisis, which has been aggravated by rising water prices and shortages at sales centers, in a country where valley waters are unfit for drinking. The heatwave continues, with temperatures ranging from 39 to 48 degrees Celsius, with forecasts that in some areas, temperatures will surpass these levels.
