Bacterii periculoase în apa potabilă din Macedonia de Nord: autoritățile confirmă o epidemie

A severe bacterial contamination has led to a drinking water crisis in Gostivar, North Macedonia, affecting thousands of residents. Authorities prohibited tap water use after over 3,100 people sought medical care due to intoxication. The contamination stemmed from a public water supply decision to divert water from a polluted canal to boost pressure during high demand. Three company employees have been arrested for environmental violations. Currently, bottled water is being distributed daily to residents amid high temperatures.
