The district’s administration had confirmed the casualties and revealed that all relevant departments had begun emergency response operations “with full capacity.”
The floods were triggered by heavy rainfall across the Kurdistan Region on Monday. The Al-Sulaymaniyah Health Directorate raised its emergency alert level, while the Garmian administration urged residents to remain indoors until weather conditions improve.
