The citizen… the source of the homeland
During times of distress, the sun of people’s minerals shines, illuminates their moons, and dazzles those with vision. On the authority of Abu Hurairah, may God be pleased with him, on the authority of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, he said: “People are minerals like the minerals of gold and silver…” (The Two Sahihs). When do you see the sparkle of gold shining when it approaches? From fire, as well as crises, men’s minerals emerge and reveal the goodness of their souls. This is how citizens and residents were when mercy rained down on the state. Panic was the slogan of volunteers as well as those working in the government, both through the gap, on which they were stationed, continuing the day into the night, so that the eyes of those in need of help could be opened. and emergency assistance.
We present to you pictures of this breathtaking brilliance, examples of the volunteers’ efforts, at a time when the sky sparkled and thundered, then rained goodness on the people and the country, watered the earth and filled the udder, and the creation supplicated to the Creator with what each one was thinking about. Great efforts were made by the police and the authorities concerned with dealing with crises to protect all residents of the country, extend a helping hand to those affected, and restore daily life to normal in all regions. Volunteers in each region formed emergency rescue teams with small boats at hand, roaming the streets, alleys and narrow alleys to bring people out of the water and into the hearts of those who sheltered them.

Contemporary technology applications have played an effective role in providing all the necessities of daily life. In fact, necessary medicines were delivered via personal drone to individuals from areas far away from the person in urgent need. Water and food were provided for free through the contributions of some private restaurants, and for the residents of the buildings whose elevators broke down, volunteers created an alternative for them by extending ropes across the balconies, to provide them with the urgent needs of life. The efforts of the volunteers provided those who were disturbed by the rain with all means of comfort, safety and stability until they returned to peace of mind and good condition. All this, while the wise leadership monitors the situation moment by moment.
