Equatorial Guinea, Angola, Chad and Mozambique also fare badly as report on World Water Day highlights global water and sanitation crisis
Papua New Guinea, where 60% of the population live without a safe water supply, has the poorest access to clean water in the world, according to a study released to mark World Water Day.
A report on the state of the world's water showed Equatorial Guinea, Angola, Chad and Mozambique joining Papua New Guinea in the bottom five of a table ranking countries according to the percentage of households with access to clean water. Globally, 650 million people are living without an "improved" source of drinking water, which includes public taps, protected wells, rainwater or water piped into households.
