The Ministry of Interior (MOI) reported on Twitter that six residents of Asian nationalities lost their lives in the heavy floods that affected Ras Al Khaimah, Sharjah, and Fujairah

Brigadier General Dr. Ali Salem Al Tunaiji of the Ministry of Interior gave his condolences to the victims of the flood: “We pray for mercy and forgiveness for the deceased and to inspire patience and solace to their families.”

The rainfall that the UAE witnessed in July 2022 was the highest recorded in the past 30 years. This was a result of the cloud-seeing operations carried out across the region.

The National Emergency Crisis and Disaster Management Authority (NCEMA) is constantly monitoring the situation and rescue teams are on the ground 24/7.
