In a statement released from Tunis, President Kais Saïed said that the concurrent summer fires and water supply disruptions across the country were not a coincidence.
Saïed, speaking to the press, highlighted the growing challenges faced by the nation during the hot season, noting that “the simultaneous occurrence of summer fires and water supply disruptions is no coincidence.”
He implied that the two crises may be linked, though he did not elaborate on the specific causes or the extent of the impact on residents and infrastructure.
The president’s remarks come amid reports of widespread wildfires and intermittent water shortages affecting several regions of Tunisia, prompting concerns about the adequacy of emergency response and resource management.
Further details on any coordinated action plans or investigations into the link between the fires and water supply issues have not yet been released.
