Tunisia’s Power and Water Crisis Fuels Public Anger
Tunisia's power and water crisis has intensified public anger due to the state electricity utility STEG's 7.36 billion dinar debt by June 2026 and unpaid bills of 6.06 billion dinars. Night-time water rationing, reducing supply by seven hours nightly since March 2023, has further strained resources. Algeria has provided some relief, though details remain unspecified.
