Israel's Ministry of Foreign Affairs has donated a mobile water purification system to Papua New Guinea, parts of which are still struggling with drought.

The Israel21c website reports that the system being donated is a mobile water-treatment, storage and distribution vehicle that connects to any possible water source and produces drinking water in less than 30 minutes.

The GalMobile system is in line with standards of the World Health Organisation and can produce approximately 8,000 cups of drinking water per hour.

Last year, Israel sent a GalMobile to the Marshall Islands in the Pacific, where drinking water is also limited.
