Two Girls Drown in Water Reservoir in Western Taiz

Two girls drowned in a water reservoir in Al-Ashamila area of Maqbanah District, west of Taiz Governorate, in a tragic incident that recurs with every rainy season.

Local sources reported that the two girls lost their lives after falling into the reservoir, which had recently filled with rainwater, in the absence of safety measures or warning signs at such sites.

The incident highlights the growing risks facing children in rural areas, particularly with the spread of uncovered reservoirs and dams that turn into deadly hazards during the rainy season.

Residents have called on the relevant authorities to take urgent preventive measures, including securing water reservoirs, installing warning signs, and implementing community awareness campaigns to prevent similar incidents from recurring.
