Aden: Heavy rains triggered floods in Yemen's southern port city of Aden on Tuesday, injuring several people and causing significant property damage, witnesses and officials said.

According to Anadolu Agency, the torrential rains swept through multiple neighborhoods, submerging homes and shops and halting traffic, particularly in the al-Mualla district, residents reported. Although several injuries were noted, no official casualty toll has been released so far.

In response to the incident, Aden Governor Ahmed Hamid Lamlas directed local health authorities to provide comprehensive medical care to those affected by the floods, as stated by the Ministry of Information. The ministry labeled the initiative as part of an 'urgent humanitarian response to the damage caused by bad weather, which struck several districts of Aden and left people injured.'

The government's meteorological center has issued warnings that rains are expected to persist in the coming hours across parts of Yemen's eastern and southwestern coasts and along the Red Sea. Residents are advised to exercise caution, avoid flood-prone valleys and slippery dirt roads, and stay away from watercourses.

Yemen's 11-year war has severely weakened the country's infrastructure, intensifying the impact of seasonal floods on residents who are already grappling with fragile basic services.
