The desert is a harsh environment, especially when drought strikes.

During a drought, water becomes scarce and the air is dry and arid.
Plant life is sparse and animals struggle to find food and water.
Without regular rainfall, the landscape becomes a parched wasteland, leaving the inhabitants with little hope for survival. The lack of water leads to dust storms and other extreme weather events, making life in the desert even more difficult.
