The downpours have caused significant water accumulation, leading to the evacuation of many residents for their safety. Residents who live in low-lying areas have been evacuated and relocated to hotels and schools in safer areas.
The authorities have pressed school buses into service near Al Sidra Park in Kalba to take the affected residents to safer places.
