Three people have died and ten others injured in the governorate of Marib (northeastern Yemen) due to heavy rains and thunderstorms that hit the area on Sunday, August 11, 2024, according to medical sources.

Sources told "Barran Press" that the heavy rainfall experienced in Marib this morning resulted in the deaths of three citizens and injuries to ten others, who were transported to various hospitals for treatment.

The emergency room at the Marib General Hospital alone received one fatality and three injured individuals. Among the deceased, according to sources, was citizen "Haydar Ahmed Al-Hadad," who was killed when a wall collapsed on him due to the storms.

The sources indicated that the heavy rains and storms caused a complete power outage in the city of Marib after transmission lines were significantly damaged.

Photos show the damage caused by the rains and floods to displacement camps, including the "Jo Al-Nissim" camp near the city.

Over the past few days, several Yemeni governorates have experienced torrential rainfall, leading to casualties and damage to citizens' property, particularly in displacement camps.
