Drought-stricken Iran added cloud-seeding to its efforts in late November, as a years-long water crisis comes to a head.
But there’s no quick fix to the drought, even if rainfall surges. For example, rain did come over the weekend in the west and northwest of Iran—and it led to damaging floods.
“This drought is happening at the same time as years of bad management in the old infrastructure, and climate change. So, recovery will take a long time,” says Edwin Keshish Abnous with Heart4Iran.
Iranians are already struggling with daily life needs, especially in Tehran. “The general feeling is that life is getting more and more fragile,” says Abnous.
“Water shortages have also an effect on health, sanitation, and food supply, which are all problems that hit the poor hardest. But despite that, we still see amazing bravery and spiritual hunger in Iranians who are looking for hope in the middle of a crisis.”
Heart4Iran’s call center team sees God at work in even these crippling challenges.
“As things get worse, our team is getting ready to answer more questions about fear, provision, and God’s faithfulness. Every time there is hardship and challenges in the land, the spiritual curiosity goes up.”
