Children killed in vehicle washed away by rain

Four children who are siblings were killed after the vehicle they were in was washed away by the rain. Torrential rains struck Jizan, Saudi Arabia. They were returning to their father's car in the village of "Mishlah" in the Sabya governorate of the Jizan region when the torrential rains hit the vehicle. The children were returning with their father to their village through the only route that led there when the car washed away. The father survived, but the children died. Due to the design of the road, which is not higher than the valley, this occurrence is not the first incident. Days of unsteady weather, storms, and heavy rains in some regions of Saudi Arabia led to the formation of torrential rainfall. The General Directorate of Civil Defense encouraged citizens to avoid entering flooded valleys, puddles, and torrential runoff to minimize hazards. KD/Expat Media
