Feeling the heat of El Nino

Helping hand: A team from the Department of Civil Defence sending clean water to the affected villages in Sabah.

KOTA KINABALU: Sabah has begun to rush water supply to 124 villages as the El Nino-induced dry spell started to take hold, with wells and lakes drying up.

The Department of Civil Defence and other agencies sent water to eight districts in the past 24 hours amid reports of crop failures due to the dry days.
