Dubai grapples with the aftermath of heavy rainfall. Speculations on the role of cloud seeding are being discussed.

The US space agency NASA has unveiled photos of flooded areas in the UAE following heavy rains that struck various parts of the Emirates.

A 'slow-moving storm' system by NASA battered the Gulf states, dropping more rain in some cities than in a typical year.

The images show that parts of Abu Dhabi were also inundated by the storms, with the Sheikh Zayed Road covered in water on April 19, along with flooded areas in Khalifa City and Zayed City visible.

The unprecedented rains disrupted life in the country, but swift efforts from the government, public, and companies have helped the country quickly return to normalcy.

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.

Despite the arduous conditions, many volunteers are showing visible signs of exhaustion, while others have succumbed to illness due to prolonged exposure to contaminated waters.

Efforts to pump out the floodwaters remain sluggish, with the stagnant, dirty water posing significant health risks and becoming a breeding ground for dangerous diseases and pathogens like dengue, cholera, and diarrhea.

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.

Quick Glance: How Henry Kissinger Mishandled the Arab Oil Embargo

Prior to the outbreak of the 1973 war, Kissinger underestimated the potential threat of Saudi Arabia weaponizing oil and developed a contingency plan in case they decided to use it against the U.S.

However, despite Kissinger's preparations, Saudi Arabia, along with other Arab oil-producing nations, imposed an embargo on the United States and other countries due to their backing of Israel during the conflict.

UAE: Abu Dhabi's waste-to-energy facility to power 50,000 homes - News | Khaleej Times

Quick Glance: UAE: Abu Dhabi's Waste-to-Energy Facility for 50,000 Homes

A highly advanced waste-to-energy facility will be established in Abu Dhabi's Al Bihouth area to convert 900,000 tonnes of waste into energy.

Expected to be operational by 2027, the plant will power 50,000 homes, leading to a significant reduction in carbon emissions.

Tadweer Group, in collaboration with a Japanese consortium, aims to develop the project to minimize landfills, lower carbon emissions, and align with the UAE's energy goals.

Innovative solutions like recycling material collection centers, reverse vending machines, and a mobile app are introduced to incentivize recycling habits in the community.
