This is in response to the report “Jeddah districts hit by another water crisis,” in Saudi Gazette (June 2). Saudi Arabia is one of world's richest countries and then this malfunction of one of human's most needed element: potable water? Does nobody feel any responsibility? I ask, whether none of the authorities are able to correct this malfunctioning? The performance is a shame for our country, most of the developing countries perform better in this field. It is a real shame. May Allah protect the civilians depending on this terrible water supply in the hot season. Barthol, Online response
