Raging Floods Claim 17 Lives in Oman
Tragedy strikes as the death toll rises to 17 in Oman, victims of the devastating flash floods unleashed by relentless heavy rain. The National Committee for Emergency Management (NCEM) confirms the grim reality.
With no end in sight to the wrath of nature, the Omani government takes swift action. Work grinds to a halt for employees and workers in five governorates – Musandam, Al Buraimi, Al Dhahirah, and Al Dakhiliyah. The deluge leaves no mercy.
Adapting to the harsh conditions, authorities permit remote work for employees, offering a glimmer of hope amidst the chaos.
Amidst the chaos, rescue operations are in full swing across Oman. An unsettling UNOCHA statement announces the closure of all schools in six governorates, including Muscat, on Monday in response to the unpredictable weather conditions.
The forecast remains bleak as moderate to heavy rainfall looms over northeastern and northern Oman in the coming days, a continuous battle against the forces of nature. – CNN
