The cameras of citizens in the Sultanate of Oman documented a breathtaking scene, on Sunday, to rescue people who were swept away by strong torrents in Wadi Al-Sarmi in the Wilayat of Al-Khaboura.
According to the site "Al Jazeera"The rescuers formed a rope from a large and thick piece of cloth that those stuck in the torrential waters clung to in order to reach land, and they were able to save 5 of them.
The flowing torrential waters washed away, after heavy rains in the country, heavy equipment, and led to a rockslide in Muscat, in which a number of cars were damaged, without any human injuries being recorded.
