Nine of the dead were students. People died after their cars were swept away by flood waters.

After heavy rains and severe flooding in Oman, at least 13 people have died and four others are missing. This was reported by The National News.

Among the dead, nine were students, two were local residents and one was a foreigner, according to Oman’s National Emergency Committee. People died after their cars were swept away by flood waters.

According to Khaleej Times, on April 14, five people were reported missing, and on April 15, the body of a missing person was found in Northern Al-Sharqiyah province. The search continues for three more people, including a child.

The police, army, civil defense and ambulance services moved the students from the schools to safer locations. Schools and colleges in Oman have been ordered to continue teaching online.

Helicopters were also used to evacuate 21 people from a rural farm in Al-Lasmo area in Quriat governorate.

The Oman Police is conducting ground and air rescue operations to help people trapped in flooded areas, including taking the injured to hospital and conducting searches for those considered missing.

According to the Oman Meteorological Department, some provinces and some areas are now experiencing fluctuating amounts of rain, accompanied by strong winds and occasional showers. The Oman Civil Aviation Authority said this stormy weather will continue until Monday evening.

Recall that in Brazil, heavy rains in the northwestern region of the state of Acre caused unprecedented flooding, which led to the evacuation of approximately 11,000 residents and a serious humanitarian crisis.

It has also been reported that American cities are “sinking” due to subsidence. From 2007 to 2020, the ground level beneath cities like New York, Baltimore and Norfolk dropped an average of 1-2 millimeters per year.
