Online Edition

THE Chinese government has given financial aid and flown 20 tons of drinking water to the Maldives on the request of its government, as a fire crippled a key desalination plant in the capital Male.

Water supplies to Male have been cut off since Thursday. A Chinese navy ship which is on duty in the Indonesian Ocean is heading there with its own desalination facilities, and is due to arrive on Monday.

Maldives’ President Abdulla Ymeen has ordered the closure of government offices Sunday and Monday as engineers struggled to repair the water purification facility.
