Jacobabad (Pakistan) (AFP) – With temperatures sometimes rising above 50 degrees Celsius (122 Fahrenheit), Jacobabad is Pakistan’s hottest city and maintaining secure water supplies is essential. But residents’ access to the resource is no longer guaranteed. The city’s supply system, pumping and purifying water from a canal, was funded by the US until President Donald Trump imposed a 90-day freeze on foreign spending. With funding drying up, so too could Jacobabad’s supply of clean water.
