Devastating floods in Oman and the UAE claim 18 lives, including schoolchildren, as heavy rains and flash floods wreak havoc in the region.

Devastating floods struck Oman and the UAE, claiming the lives of 18 individuals, many of whom were children. Rescue teams in Oman are tirelessly searching for two missing persons amidst the chaos caused by the bad weather disrupting travel in the UAE. The Gulf region faced torrential rains and high winds, intensifying the already dire situation. Prime Minister Abdulhamid Dbeibah expressed his condolences to Oman as the Wilayat of Mudhaibi suffered the brunt of the floods.

The tragic incident further unfolded with ten Omani schoolchildren losing their lives in the flood that swept through the region. The heavy rains led to road closures and disruptions, with a total of 18 fatalities reported in Oman alone. The UAE's National Centre of Meteorology issued flash flood warnings, impacting cities like Abu Dhabi, Dubai, and Sharjah. The death toll continued to rise, as at least 17 people succumbed to the flash floods triggered by the relentless heavy rain across Oman.

In a show of solidarity, Qatar's Amir extended condolences to Oman as the Sultanate grappled with the aftermath of the catastrophic floods. The entire Gulf region was soaked in heavy storms and high winds, causing widespread devastation. The toll in Oman tragically rose to 18, with a significant number of the victims being children, further highlighting the severity of the situation.

Heavy storms and flash floods wreaked havoc across the Gulf, with Oman bearing the brunt of the natural disaster. As the region mourns the loss of lives and continues to deal with the aftermath, the effects of climate change and the need for enhanced disaster preparedness become even more apparent. Devastation and tragedy struck the region, serving as a somber reminder of the unpredictable and destructive forces of nature.
