In Libreville, the water shortage persists a month after the state of water emergency was declared.

The Gabonese government declared a water emergency over a month ago, promising water distribution in the affected areas. In Libreville, thousands of families are still struggling to obtain water and are paying high prices for the precious resource.

Water is still scarce in Libreville. Despite the state of water emergency declared by the Gabonese authorities more than a month ago, accompanied by promises of distribution in the most affected neighborhoods, the situation remains critical for a large part of the capital's population.

Every day, thousands of families struggle to obtain a few liters of water, often purchased at exorbitant prices due to a lack of access to the network. The emergency measures have not been enough to stem the shortage or lower the prices charged on the ground.

The gap between government announcements and the reality experienced by residents illustrates the extent of the structural difficulties that weigh on the water supply of the Gabonese capital.
