美国的援助冻结威胁到Jacobabad的供水, US aid freeze threatens Jacobabad's water supply, risking water for 350,000 in Pakistan's heat.

在巴基斯坦极热的城市Jacobabad, 一个每天向35万人提供150万加仑的供水项目由于美国外援中断而面临风险。 In Pakistan's extremely hot city of Jacobabad, a water supply project that provides 1.5 million gallons daily to 350,000 people is at risk due to a halt in US foreign aid. 美援署2012年赠款6 600万美元资助该项目, 由于长期生存所需的150万美元因美国的援助冻结而受阻而面临关闭。 The project, funded by a $66 million USAID grant in 2012, faces shutdown as $1.5 million needed for long-term viability has been blocked by the US aid freeze. 如果供水停止,可能会给城市居民造成严重的挑战,特别是因为Jacobabad经常经历超过50摄氏度的气温,并遭受严重贫穷。 If the water supply stops, it could pose severe challenges for the city's inhabitants, especially as Jacobabad often experiences temperatures above 50°C and suffers from grinding poverty.
