People in despair during the water crises in Tamale, Ghana.

Early this year has been the most brutal struggles for water by some majority of the people in Tamale, the Northern Regional capital.

The photographs illustrate how people struggle everyday for over six weeks now to get access for water for household activities.

This situation has made living for the past weeks worrying where mostly school children get to school late as well as workers.

The situation has made some chop bars and other restaurants to increased their cost for food.

One may even wonder the kind of water food operators uses to prepare food for the public.
