The death toll from two days of rains and flooding in western Saudi Arabia rose to at least eight on Wednesday, including three children, public safety officials said.
Most of the fatalities came in the holy city of Madinah area, in the kingdom's west, where five bodies were recovered, the civil defence agency said.
Among the victims were two children, it said.
On Tuesday, civil defence said two people were electrocuted in Jeddah, the kingdom's second-largest city, and an 11-year-old boy drowned in Yanbu further north.
With fears of more rain, the education department announced that Jeddah schools, shut since Tuesday, will stay closed until Thursday.
Floods killed 123 people in the Red Sea city in 2009, and about 10 people two years later.
