Dubai, UAE — A World Economic Forum article, which was part of the Forum’s annual meeting this year, said the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) is one of the most water-scarce regions in the world.

Moreover, the article said, the issue continues to significantly impact the health and wellbeing of people in the area, especially women and children.
