Description

Most people in the capital of the Maldives have not had running water for several days. The island's only de-salination plant was damaged in a fire last week and lack of water is not the only problem facing the city. It is noisy, chaotic and overcrowded with more than 180,000 people crammed into 2sq km of land. Al Jazeera's Nicole Johnston reports from Male.
