ERBIL (Kurdistan24) - Residents of Iraq's Anbar Province expressed frustration as flash floods paralyzed traffic in several areas of Ramadi city, according to a report by Sumaria News early Saturday morning.
Photos published by the news outlet show several secondary streets submerged in the city's al-Jamiya district, highlighting the area's inadequate infrastructure.
Civil Defense teams are currently working to normalize traffic flow in the affected areas.
