TunisiaEU and UNICEF reaffirm commitment to support sustainable water management in Lebanon
The Beirut and Mount Lebanon Water Establishment (EBML) in partnership with UNICEF and the European Union, inaugurated the newly rehabilitated Tallet Al Khayat station, one of the oldest water pumping stations in Beirut.
The project has been developed to provide improved and sustainable water services to more than half a million people in Beirut through a system relying on gravity and pumping.
Amid the continuous crisis affecting the water infrastructure, access to water is still one of the biggest challenges, putting the health of millions of people, particularly children, at risk.
Through its long-standing partnership with UNICEF, the European Union has been one of the strongest supporters of Lebanon’s water sector amid the continuous crisis. Since November 2018 it has so far contributed EUR130 million to develop and implement water projects and strengthen national capacity of the water establishments to ensure public access to water resources now and for the future.
