Civil defense teams recovered the body of a child who was swept away by rising waters in Wadi Al-Zaatari, per Roya’s correspondent. 

Rescue teams launched immediate search and sweep operations at the site following the emergency report.

Heavy rainfall in the area has caused sudden flash floods and significantly raised water levels in valleys and low-lying regions.

Rescue Operation Details

Authorities confirmed that the child, of Arab nationality, was found deceased after intensive rescue efforts using all available equipment.

The incident occurred due to strong water flow in the valley amid unstable weather conditions affecting the kingdom, which have triggered flash floods and elevated water levels across multiple areas.
