The drought-hit county hasn't seen rain since January 19, and has only recorded a rainfall of 6.9 millimeters since the beginning of this year, the lowest level in 49 years. More than 24,600 villagers have been affected by the drought, and over 8,200 livestock don't have sufficient drinking water. Photo: CFP
