Sudden tidal surge causes havoc in Dhobab region in Taiz

TAIZ, March 31 (YPA) -A sudden and unpredicted tidal surge hit the shores of Dhobab, in the Al-Mandeb district of Taiz province, on Sunday evening.

The powerful wave caused seawater to flood homes, sweep away fishermen’s boats, and result in significant damage to both public and private property.

Local sources reported that the incident forced many families to flee to higher lands to escape the rising waters.

Reports stated that the seawater rapidly flowed toward the city, sweeping away fishing boats from their docks and pushing them toward residential areas, resulting in substantial material damage.

The floodwaters also reached inside homes, forcing many residents to evacuate to safer locations, while dozens remain trapped in their homes amidst chaos and fear.

Eyewitnesses mentioned that the tidal surge hit the central shores of the district at around 9:30 PM on Sunday, causing widespread destruction.
