Rain has claimed its first victim as rescuers have recovered the body of a person who was caught in an overflowing wadi in Rustaq on Monday evening.
“The body of a person who was caught in the overflowing Wadi Falaj Al Hadith has been recovered by the rescue team,” Public Authority of Civil Defense and Ambulances (PACDA) tweeted on its official Twitter handle.
In 2015, at least 14 people had drowned in overflowing wadis in different parts of Oman during the flash floods in September and October.
Oman’s civil defence had to carry out more than 200 rescue operation during the rainy days.
