The Interior Ministry advised the country’s residents to leave their houses only in case of emergency and ask security forces for help in crossing flooded streets. Meanwhile, the Kuwait Fire Service Directorate (KFSD) said one person drowned in a mudslide on Friday.
Ahmed Fadli, born in 1986, had drowned while rescuing his family, the KFSD wrote on Twitter. The mudflow carried him for 3 kilometres [1.9 miles], the authority added.
