Angaur State delivers water containers to Koror amid Palau drought
What happened
On October 29, 2026, Angaur State transported water containers to Koror. This delivery is part of a service that provides drinking water to residents facing a growing water crisis due to a prolonged drought linked to a super El Niño in Palau and the western Pacific. The service relies on boat transportation, which is vulnerable to weather conditions.
