 Regardless if it is a war zone or another war zone, water is one of the most important things in life. If you don't have water on a certain moment, you will start feeling physical problems. Sicknesses will arrive because they are finding water on different sources, not clean water, water which is polluted, and they will start getting sick. My name is Tamo van Gastel, I'm a water and habitat engineer with the ICRC, the National Committee of the Red Cross. At the moment we are in Aleppo City. The main challenge in Aleppo is actually water availability. Throughout Aleppo City, it's being served by actually two main pumping stations. These pumping stations, they are being powered by of course electricity. However, due to different reasons, different parties in the conflict, water is cut, sometimes the electricity is cut, and that gives a large suffering to all the people of Aleppo City actually. And because it is so difficult to get water in these areas, we as ICRC, we try to facilitate as much as possible this availability. The network of boreholes which we have created in Aleppo City is also a contingency plan to when the pumping stations are not working. We have actually installed different taps so that the water is readily available for the people as well as truck loading points where different water tanks can come around, get water and distribute them over the other areas which are not reachable with the borehole. We have different approaches to assisting displaced people. We are here at this collective shelter and these are all skeleton buildings. And as you can see, we have implemented the covers between the open areas in these buildings so that in the Aleppo temperatures which are high in summer and low in winter, they are better protected from it. They have water available and that sanitation facilities are available. We support bakeries so that people also can have fresh bread in the morning as well as that we support collective kitchens who are cooking meals for all different people within the city. And in addition to that we support hospitals, for example, dialysis centres in the supply of generators and the different equipment needed. Whatever we do within Aleppo City or within the rural areas of Aleppo Governorate, we are doing this together with the Syrian Arab Red Crescent. In that way we try to reach as many of the population which we can.
