We faced terrible drought here in Pakistan too. It's a global challenge. Solidarity with our Sri Lankan brothers.

El Nino is no joke. Climate change is hitting hard. We need to prepare better worldwide, especially in vulnerable countries.

75 litres every few days is so little... makes you appreciate your own taps running. Allah protect them.

May Allah ease their hardship. Water is such a basic blessing we often take for granted. Good to see the government taking action.
