Libya: 46.4% Households with Contaminated Water
The 2024-2025 Libya Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey report revealed that 46.4% of households use drinking water contaminated with E. coli bacteria at the point of use, despite 99.1% of households accessing improved water sources, and 58.3% obtaining water within their homes. It was also found that 28% of water sources at the collection point were contaminated, exposing residents to health risks from E. coli bacteria, which can cause diarrhea, food poisoning, and urinary tract infections. The report aims to improve the quality of drinking water in Libya, especially as efforts supported by the European Union and UNICEF are underway to enhance water networks and provide safer water sources.
