Quick Glance: Sharjah Flood-Relief Volunteers Struggle with Exhaustion and Illness
- Hundreds of families in Sharjah affected by the floods are in dire need of help, while volunteers who have been aiding in flood relief for the past five days are now on the brink of burnout.

- Efforts to alleviate the distress caused by the floods have also mobilized hundreds of volunteers from local organizations like Markaz Dubai, operating in areas such as Sharjah's industrial area, Al Majaz, Abu Shagara, and others.
