Close to 200,000 people in the Namuno district in Cabo Delgado province are facing drinking water shortages, Radio Mozambique reports.
The number represents just over 65% of the estimated 300,000 inhabitants, now facing a worsening lack of water during the dry season.
Namuno district administrator Felisbela Lázaro said that, in communities with no water boreholes, families were using water unfit for consumption, endangering public health.
Lázaro said that work was ongoing to install drinking water sources, with priority given to the most critical communities.
