Former Minister and leader of the Tawheed Party, Wiam Wahab, stated in a social media post that "tomorrow there will be a problem with the water supply in Beirut and Mount Lebanon if dollars are not secured for the institution." He addressed caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati, saying: "Cutting water in this weather is a big catastrophe that we cannot bear. For years, we have been helping some villages with diesel to secure water, but we are unable to fill the void left by the state; a quick decision is required."
