The Department of Public Relations and Information at KFF stated in a press release that the operating room received 43 reports this morning, most of which were regarding people trapped in their vehicles from the heavy rainfall and the floods in the basements of buildings.

Its teams were alerted and even more ready in all centers, while they activated the rainy season plan, which was under the direct supervision of the KFF Chief Lieutenant General Khaled Al-Mekrad, and the KFF Deputy Chief for the Pest Control Sector Major General Jamal Al-Blaihis, the statement added.
