Iraqi People Still Suffer From Lack Of Adequate Water Supply Despite U.S. Efforts

Iraqis fill drinking and cooking water containers from a public water hose on open ground in Baghdad’s eastern suburb of Fadaliayah, Iraq, Tuesday, Oct. 30, 2012. The neighborhood has no municipal water supply. The US allocated billions of dollars to rebuild Iraq’s water infrastructure shattered by war, sanctions and neglect, but security issues, corruption and inefficiency have left millions of Iraqis still without basic sanitation or piped water.
