Heat caused shortage

The unusual stretch of hot weather we have experienced through this past summer has wreaked havoc on the waters of Israel.

However, if you think the worst hit of the victims of the heat was the Kinneret, you've got another think coming. We might not have enough water to drink, do laundry and bathe in, but the drought causing a hummus shortage is the real disaster right now.

As always, a shortage in supply means a price hike. Will this crisis change eating habits in the Middle East?
