Jordan ministers resign over water

  • Jordan: Tuesday, July 31 - 2007 at 08:47

Two Jordanian ministers resigned after contaminated water led to more than 1,000 people being hospitalised, Arab News reported. A government inquiry found that residents of a village near Mafraq had been infected with the cryptosporidium virus through the town's water supply, resulting in severe diarrhea and high fever. Prime Minister Maaruf Bakhit told reporters that Water Minister Mohammad Al Alem and Health Minister Dr Saad Al Kharabsheh had resigned due to their 'moral obligation'.
