Water~Water~Water

Rangoon, the former capital of Burma is now stumbling upon the shortage of water and poor people are suffering from the lack of water, unable to meet their daily needs for water. Moreover, approximately the death rate of people who died from heat stroke numbers up to 400 starting from April which is abnormally hot in Burma. Right now the temperature in Rangoon is over 120 degree Fahrenheit. Burma is a place where poverty and inequity strongly dominate so its people couldn’t help but rely on the vampire junta government. And the junta government is not being responsible as they are expected to be and the necessary allegiances for the problem are not being taken at the moment. Rangoon’s municipal, electricity, water and sanitation departments were unavailable for comment. Recently Burma has been hit by a major water crisis, which results from a combination of abnormally hot weather and increasing damming of rivers. Rangoon has also been hit by REGULAR electricity cuts since the annual water festival in April. One of the residents in Rangoon said that people are very frustrated and now not only because of the broken economy- they can’t even have enough water during the damn hot weather!
