Narrative:
I worked two flights on tail aircraft X with one aft lav sink inoperable. Although the sink in the other aft lav worked; neither lavs had soap for crew and/or passengers to wash their hands. When we asked for soap; I was only provided with one extra bottle of alcohol-free hand sanitizer and sani-communication wipes. Given the current coronavirus pandemic; being able to properly wash hands for both crew and passengers is imperative. Being we had a five hour rolling delay due to a mechanical issue; soap easily could have been provided.provide crew and passengers with soap and working lavs to wash their hands.
