Disinfection of water tank

The hot season has started in Jordan, and temperature is continuing to be more than 35 degrees in the day time. In conjunction with Ramadan, the heat warmth keeps us to have tough days here in Za-Atari camp.
This temperature makes concern of worsen hygiene situation in the camp. The refugees in Za-Atari are drinking water from the water tank which is set in various places. The water is distributed every day to the tank. But to keep the quality of this water, we need to be sure that the tank is also clean. If one of the tank contains pollute inside, it might affect health to hundreds of refugees. To avoid this risk, JEN’s staff is now working to disinfect the tanks in areas where we are working as focal organization of hygiene issue.

Polluted water can create serious health problem, and all refugees are using water from the tank.
