Flash Flood Kills Dozens in Yemen
Devastating Floods Cause Widespread Damage, Disruption
Heavy Rains Triggered by Tropical Storm Cause Chaos
A flash flood has killed at least 30 people and injured dozens more in Yemen, according to the United Nations.
The flood was triggered by heavy rains caused by Tropical Storm Luban, which made landfall in Yemen on Sunday.
The floodwaters swept through several towns and villages in the southern province of Shabwa, destroying homes, businesses, and infrastructure.
Rescue workers are still searching for survivors, but the death toll is expected to rise.
The United Nations is providing emergency aid to the affected areas, including food, water, and shelter.
The floods have also caused widespread damage to roads and bridges, making it difficult to reach some of the affected areas.
The Yemeni government has declared a state of emergency in the affected areas.
The floods are the latest in a series of natural disasters to hit Yemen in recent years.
In 2015, a devastating earthquake killed more than 2,000 people.
In 2017, a cholera outbreak killed more than 2,500 people.
Yemen is one of the poorest countries in the world and is already facing a humanitarian crisis due to the ongoing civil war.
The floods are likely to make the situation even worse.
