A Jordanian parliamentary delegation, headed by the Second Deputy Speaker of Parliament, Nassar Haisah, participated in the “High-Level Political Parliamentary Forum on Sustainable Development” at the UN HQ in New York. Haisah said, in a speech during the conference, that the sixth goal of the sustainable development goals on water and sanitation is one of the most sensitive and priority goals in Jordan, as it constitutes a major challenge. He added that Jordan suffers from an acute shortage in the annual per capita share of water, which amounts to less than 100 cubic meters and is equivalent to less than 10 per cent of the global poverty line rate for water share.
