The country has no potable tap water. If the bottled water shortages follow the trajectory of fuel, medicines and milk, then people in Lebanon will soon struggle to drink.<\/p>\u2014 Tamara Qiblawi  (@tamaraqiblawi) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/tamaraqiblawi\/status\/1428232143713484803?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 19, 2021<\/a><\/blockquote> <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>  <br \/>  <br \/>  Supermarkets are struggling to provide bottled water due to little to no supply from bottling plants. This is largely aggravated by the fact that Lebanon&#8217;s tap water is unsafe to drink and considered to be very contaminated. The reason behind this shortage happens to be another shortage: the fuel crisis. Speaking to CNN on this matter, Heiko Wimmen, Iraq, Syria and Lebanon director at Crisis Group said, &#8220;Drinking water is all about transportation. If you don&#8217;t have diesel, you can&#8217;t get water from the mountain to the coast&#8221;. <br \/>  <br \/>  The ongoing fuel crisis has obviously snowballed into a mass tragedy that has put over 70% of the Lebanese population under the poverty line. The month of August has been challenging for us all.
