“People living in informal settlements, those who are homeless, rural populations, women, children, older persons, people with disabilities, migrants, refugees and all other groups vulnerable to the effects of the pandemic need to have continuous access to sufficient and affordable water”. Only this will allow them to comply with the recommendations of health institutions to keep strict hygiene measures”.
