TOP News Brief
Residents of Beit Iba and surrounding villages in Nablus are without running water after the breakdown of the village's main well pump halted water supplies to the region, Shehab Wire reported. The outage has left households without access to piped water amid unseasonably high temperatures, forcing residents to rely on expensive water transported by tanker truck to meet basic needs.
The failure has compounded existing water scarcity in the area. Local residents said they were waiting for repairs to the pump and restoration of regular service, with no clear timeline announced for when supplies would resume to affected communities.
