Ibb, the Yemeni Ibb, witnessed heavy rains and thunderstorms that caused many losses, and videos spread to save people from certain death, while singers criticized the authorities’ lack of preparation for dealing with these disasters.
Ibb is located in the southwest of the capital, Sanaa, and is surrounded by mountains from 3 sides, north, west and east, which means that the rain that falls on the surrounding mountains is accelerating by running towards narrow valleys that pass from the city and cause sudden floods.
Floods caused many material and human losses due to the absence of the early response from the rescue and civil defense teams due to the difficult terrain, the severed roads and the severe deficiency in vehicles, boats, drilling equipment and trained crews.
Among the videos that spread on social media are a scene of Yemeni youth who gathered to save a man after the torrents were washed away with his car, and one of them went down to connect him to the rope and then the others pulled him.
The scene of a car was sweeping the torrents with 4 individuals who could not save them.
