Ibb: Floods Claim Lives of Two Children and Their Father; Authorities Seek Help Identifying Victims

Rescue teams on Friday recovered the bodies of two children and their father who were swept away by flash floods in Ibb governorate, central Yemen — the latest in a string of tragic incidents caused by heavy rains in recent days.

According to media reports, the children were found in critical condition and rushed to a nearby medical facility in a bid to save their lives. However, they later succumbed to their injuries. The identities of the victims have yet to be confirmed.

Security and health authorities in Ibb are urging anyone with information about the victims or who may recognize them to immediately contact the nearest police station or the hospital where they were taken.

Local authorities have renewed warnings to residents to stay away from flood channels, especially when accompanied by children, and called for heightened caution to prevent further loss of life.
