Homeless People and the Water Crisis in Cape Town

The video discusses the severe water scarcity in Cape Town and its impact on the homeless population. It highlights the closure of public facilities, forcing the homeless to find alternative water sources, often unsafe. The health risks, such as compromised immunity and diseases like HIV and TB, are exacerbated by the lack of clean water. Community efforts, including NGOs and service dining rooms, provide some relief, but high water tariffs pose challenges. The video emphasizes the need for city planning to address basic human rights and showcases community initiatives to support the homeless during this crisis.
