The flash floods that occurred in Al-Qalaa Valley on Saturday evening, October 17, 2026, resulted in the death of approximately 100 sheep belonging to a woman in Abu Taharn village, under the jurisdiction of Mazkitam leadership in the Jerada province, according to available data.
According to the same data, the local authority, led by Mazkitam, visited the aforementioned village on Sunday. They assessed the extent of the losses caused by the valley's flood, which led to the death of a large number of livestock.
This incident highlights the extent of damage that floods can cause to herders and livestock farmers in rural areas, especially in light of weather fluctuations and rising water levels in valleys, and the resulting financial losses that affect the livelihoods of affected families.
The need remains for taking the necessary preventive measures to protect livestock and citizens' property in areas threatened by floods, while ensuring follow-up on the situation of those affected and assessing the extent of recorded losses.
