Mecca Submerged! Catastrophic Floods Have Ravaged the
Holy City and It's Inhabitants
Saudi Arabia, the home of Islam’s holiest sites, has
been hit by extreme weather conditions, causing floods,
hail and chaos in several regions of the country. The
heavy rainfall, which started on November 6, has
affected pilgrims, schools and residents, and has
prompted authorities to issue warnings and take
precautionary measures.
In Mecca, the city that hosts millions of pilgrims
every year, the rainfall has been incessant, leading to
flash floods that have inundated streets and caused
widespread disruption. Many historic sites in Mecca,
including the Grand Mosque, are now at risk of damage
due to the flooding. Pilgrims who had come to Mecca for
religious reasons are being affected by the inclement
weather, causing further concern for the city. Roads
and transportation have been severely impacted, with
many streets impassable and public transportation
services suspended. The heavy rainfall is causing
rivers to swell, exacerbating the flooding situation
and posing additional challenges for rescue and relief
efforts.
