”Hai orang-orang yang beriman, bertaubatlah kepada Allah dengan Taubatan Nasuhan (taubat yang semurni-murninya), mudah-mudahan Tuhan kamu akan menghapus kesalahan-kesalahanmu dan memasukkan kamu ke dalam surga yang mengalir di bawahnya sungai-sungai, pada hari ketika Allah tidak menghinakan Nabi dan orang-orang yang beriman bersama dengan dia; sedang cahaya mereka memancar di hadapan dan di sebelah kanan mereka, sambil mereka mengatakan: "Ya Tuhan kami, sempurnakanlah bagi kami cahaya kami dan ampunilah kami; sesungguhnya Engkau Maha Kuasa atas segala sesuatu". (QS At-Tahrim ayat 8)

Cuba faces its worst drought for 50 years

Water worries as drought hits Cuba
Cuba is facing its worst drought in half a century, with tens of thousands of families almost entirely reliant on water trucks for essential supplies. The drought started two years ago, and reservoirs are now down to a fifth of their normal levels. The government is providing road deliveries of water to more than 100,000 people in the worst affected areas of the capital, Havana. The situation in Havana is compounded by a pipe network in poor condition. The state-run newspaper Granma says up to 70% of water pipes supplying the capital are leaking and in urgent need of repair, the BBC's Michael Voss in Havana says. Residents are having to use buckets and bottles to fill up with water from the road deliveries.
