Send Rain

The word on the street and in the souq is: "We need rain, badly!"

It hasn't rained for 11 months and resevoirs are very low. Water quality is worsening. Food prices are rising. The atmosphere is more polluted.

"Oh, may allah be merciful to us and send rain!" said Nabil, a green grocer.

The mosques are praying for rain.
Women are praying for rain.
The nation is praying for rain.

Hey, I want rain!
