How Glacial Melt Affects Water Across Asia

Stretching from Afghanistan to Myanmar, the Hindu Kush Himalayas contain the largest volume of ice outside the Arctic and Antarctica.
These mountains feed major rivers across Asia - from the Ganges to the Mekong - providing water for drinking, irrigation, and energy for about 2 billion people.
But this region, also known as Earth’s Third Pole, is warming three times faster than the global average.
Melting glaciers will bring a future of water stress, frequent hazards, biodiversity loss, and food insecurity.
Without urgent action, this will hit the region’s poorest and most vulnerable groups the hardest.

I am writing to you regarding a critical issue of water scarcity in my area. We are facing severe difficulties in accessing clean and safe drinking water. The lack of adequate water sources is causing significant hardship for our community, and the situation is becoming increasingly urgent. Given Muslim Aid’s commendable work in providing support for such issues, I kindly request your assistance in addressing this problem. Specifically, we are in need of hand pumps or other water solutions to help alleviate the water crisis we are currently experiencing. Please let us know how we can proceed with obtaining assistance or if there are any specific procedures we need to follow. Your prompt response would be greatly appreciated, as the situation is dire.
