EGYPT-WATER-RIVER-NILE

This picture taken on November 26, 2019 shows a view of the Nile river in the Egyptian capital Cairo's southern suburb of Kozzika, about 15 kilometres south of the city centre. - Egypt has for years been suffering from a severe water crisis that is largely blamed on population growth. Mounting anxiety has gripped the already-strained farmers as the completion of Ethiopia's gigantic dam on the Blue Nile, a key tributary of the Nile, draws nearer. Egypt views the hydro-electric barrage as an existential threat that could severely reduce its water supply. But Ethiopia insists that Egypt's water share will not be affected.
