VOICED: Dead Sea needs world help to stay alive

The Dead Sea, located 400 meters below sea level, is facing a significant decline in water levels due to water scarcity and global warming. Jordan, one of the driest countries, is struggling to protect this unique ecosystem. Efforts include a proposed canal from the Red Sea, but environmentalists are concerned about potential disruptions. The Jordan River, the natural source of the Dead Sea, is heavily diverted for irrigation. Restoring its flow involves complex political negotiations among Jordan, Syria, and Israel. International cooperation is crucial to prevent the Dead Sea from disappearing by 2050.
