Tunisia protests: Water, power cuts and rising anger
Near 50C temperatures are driving record electricity demand, disrupting water supplies and straining health services.

Tunisians are struggling to access water as extreme heat, power cuts, and aging infrastructure disrupt tap supplies.

Residents of Tunisia’s coastal town of Ben Guerdane on Wednesday attended the funerals of eight young migrants.
Libyan factions sign an initial an election pact, but divided institutions and deep legal gaps threaten its execution.
Tunisia’s Ben Guerdane reels from violent protests after a boat carrying 15 people sinks, killing at least 12.

A migrant boat carrying 15 Tunisians sank off the country’s southeastern coast while heading to Italy, killing eight.
The boat, believed to be headed towards Italy, set off on Thursday with 15 mostly young people on board.

Hundreds of Tunisians took to the streets of the capital Tunis on Thursday, calling for president Kais Saied to leave.
Tunisia has seen an uptick in protests as economic conditions in the country have deteriorated.
