As per the United Nations emergency relief agency, reports say at

, according to Reuters.
According to the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), flash flooding wash out 20 villages and destroyed over 50 more after the Arbaat Dam failure on Sunday. It figured out 50000 people have been “highly affected” because of this calamity as per this report.
As OCHA quoted local authorities, many locals had to leave their homes for safety in the Khor-Baraka and Tukar villages as well. It further explained that the current number of fatalities is subject to a tremendous increment.
La France Press releasing the images of the damage by the storm shows vehicle carrying construction equipment and others trapped in solid mud and materials with some crates and household effects. Some other vehicles sparkle on the bank of the silty rivers although partly smeared.
On a separate AFP video, one resident;
Moussa Mohamad Moussa
