The past week, a summer deluge hit large parts of the Northern UAE, which caused widespread flooding, especially in Fujairah, Sharjah and a few other parts.

Seven people lost their lives, and over 800 were saved after the extreme weather, which resulted in damage to homes, vehicles and other possessions.

The flash floods witnessed in the UAE last week were the highest in the previous 27 years and caused widespread destruction.

People have also started asking for claims from insurance companies for their vehicles and homes.

A committee has also been made to assess the widespread damages and losses incurred due to heavy rain showers around the country. They have been urged to submit a detailed report of the damages.
