The director of the directorate, Sadiq Hisan, said in a statement to Saba that the heavy floods witnessed by the directorate during the past days caused the partial and total demolition and damage of more than 30 houses and five mosques, and the burial and burial of about 20 water wells with their solar systems.
The initial losses in the agricultural sector show that more than five thousand bricks of agricultural land, most of which are planted with fruit and coffee trees, were damaged, he said.
