- The WHO/UNICEF Joint Monitoring Programme for Water Supply, Sanitation and Hygiene (JMP) has released a report.
- It provides country, regional and global estimates of progress on drinking water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) since 1990.
- The JMP 2023 update estimated that in 2022, 27% of the global population (2.2 billion people) lacked “safely managed drinking water”– meaning water at home, available, and safe.
- This includes 1.5 billion with a basic water service, but outside the home, not always available, or unsafe.
- The remaining 703 million lacking even basic services either had to walk more than 30 min to collect water from outside the home.
- 296 million peoples used unprotected water sources or took untreated water from rivers or lakes (115 million) – sources likely to be contaminated.
