The impact of the massive low pressure system hitting countries in the Middle East, especially Iraq, Kuwait, and western Iran, with torrential rain, continues. This has led to the formation of devastating flash floods that swept away vehicles and caused the collapse of some residential buildings in northern Iraq. Its effects are expected to intensify in Lebanon from Tuesday afternoon until Thursday with heavy rain, lightning, and hail.
