4.Electricity shortage leaves Afghanistan in the dark.Electricity is in short supply in the Middle Eastern Nation of Afghanistan.Only 6percent of the country's residents have electric power,according to the Asian Development Bank,an organization that works to reduce poverty.Some residents in Kabul received only 3hours of electricity a day last fall.Others received none.Kabul is the capital of Afghanistan."It's dark everywhere,"says city resident Gul Hussein."Some of our neighbours are using candles."
Experts say water shortage is partly to blame.Water is used to make electricity.In Kabul,power becomes rare in midsummer,when the region's hydroelectric(水力发电的) dams dry up.Hydroelectricity is made by the force of falling water.
Kabul's growing population is also a cause.Since the late 1990s,the city's population has jumped from less than 1million to more than 4million people.Now even more electricity is needed.
Despite receiving millions of dollars in international aid,the country's electricity shortages continue.Still,Afghans hope for a solution.One plan is to import,or bring in,power from the nearby country Uzbekistan.Afghan officials also spoke with U.S.president about the nation's need to make its own electricity.
"Life takes power,"says Jan Agha,a worker from Kabul."If you have electricity,life is good; but if there's no electricity,you go around like a blind man."
