Arab News reported that the Saudi Arabian Civil Defense confirmed that they received more than 900 emergency calls due to flooding from southern cities of Abha and Khamis Mushayt.


The poor weather condition caused the flood in the region which resulted in road closures and schools shut down.

Civil Defense authorities said many people in Abha City were rescued after their cars submerged in the water although no injuries were reported because of the rainstorm.










Citizens were urged to take caution and avoid going near valleys that could threaten their safety.
