What can you do if you don’t have access to running water? No pipes, no wells, no rainfall?

We meet Abel Cruz, the Peruvian man behind a huge fog net project which is providing water to a community in the slums of Lima.
Could fog catching be a solution to wider water crises facing the world?
Produced by Tom Colls.

Syrian refugees in Lebanon are being handed cash cards instead of blankets and food. Aid agencies say money transfers are a better way to deliver essential supplies to some of the 1.5 million Syrians who live in the country – they buy what they need themselves. But does it work?
