A colored-pencil drawing of the dry-stone olive and fig terraces stepping down the limestone hillside below the stone houses now heads the town page.

The day's five prayer times, worked out from the sun over the village by the Ja'fari method, with the direction of the Qibla. No app, and it keeps working offline once loaded.

When the olives, figs, almonds, tobacco and cereals are worked, month by month, with the wet and dry seasons behind them and the dates that open the year on the slopes.

The village sits close to the Roum fault. This new page shows the earthquakes recorded near Mazraat El Mechref lately, straight from the USGS feed, with the fault story behind them — the 1956 Chim earthquake and the rest — and the official channels that matter when the ground shakes. A quiet month is normal and the page says so; it cannot predict a quake, only show what the ground has been doing.

The Generator Bill Checker was showing a tariff that turned out to be about a year out of date. It now uses the Ministry of Energy and Water's most recent published monthly ceiling (May 2026); the fixed monthly fees are unchanged. The ministry resets the tariff every month, so always check the latest before you compare.

Emergency numbers, the council and water contacts, and how to report an unexploded item — never touch it, call 125 or 1701.

See what your generator bill should be at this month's official maximum, and check whether you are being overcharged.

A plain guide to how war-damage help is meant to work in the south, who to contact, why it is slow, and how to stay safe from unexploded items when you go back.
