Floods in Yemen kill at least 33 people, damage more than 200 homes
Floods that swept through a district in northern Yemen this week have killed at least 33 people and damaged more than 200 houses, a local official said.
Heavy rains that began on Tuesday as part of Yemen’s monsoon season have caused major flooding and unleashed rockslides in the Melhan district of Al-Mahwit province.
The floods have killed 33 people, destroyed 28 houses and caused cracks in 200 others, Ali al-Zikam, secretary general of the local council of Al-Mahwit province, said on Facebook. The flooding also swept away five cars and left several people missing, he said.
Yemen’s Red Crescent said on Thursday that 38 people are still missing, and that the agency is actively looking for them.
