Cistern of water in a village - Yemen

They have mobile phone, but not running water

In many villages in Yemen, people have access to mobile network, even in the remote villages in the hills, but still have to drink the water from the ancient cisterns like on this picture.

So women and kids come to carry the wtaer to the houses everyday.

Those cisterns are also used as pools by kids, when adults are not around!
