The floods in “Wadi Jannat” in the “Sahool” area, central Ibb, on Tuesday, blocked the return path for two brothers from the “Dhi al-Sufal” district, in the southern part of the province, who were riding a motorcycle after visiting relatives in the “Al-Mukhaddar” district.

The sources mentioned that the brothers ignored the warnings of those present and decided to risk their lives by crossing the floodwaters with their motorcycle, which led to their immediate fall and being swept away by the current.
