Flooding triggered by torrential rain has left 50 dead and hundreds displaced in Yemen in recent days, according to tolls given by the United Nations and local officials.

Emergency services are continuing their response efforts as heavy rainfall over Al Hudaydah Governorate resulted in severe flooding.

Reports indicate that parts of the governorate are submerged. Many residents are stranded due to flooded roadways.

Witnesses described the scene in the Yemeni Tihamah coastal plain as horrifying. Mohamed Rassam said some livestock were found dead after drowning in the mud due to the floods. Food supplies and drinkable water were also lost.

“The floods swept away everything,” he said.
