Iran says desalination plant out of service since early March strike
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleOne of the desalination plants on Iran’s Qeshm Island has been out of service since being hit by an airstrike earlier in the month, an official from the Iranian Health Ministry tells media.
“Drinking water on Qeshm Island is provided by desalination plants. One of the desalination plants on Qeshm Island was targeted and is completely out of service as it is not possible to repair it in the short term,” the Health Ministry’s head of the Environmental and Occupational Health Centre says, according to the news outlet Borna.
Iranian media quotes the deputy governor of Hormozgan province as saying the island’s desalination infrastructure was only struck once earlier in the month.
