Due to the extraordinary flooding in Dubai, many are having trouble travelling. As of Tuesday night, nearly 14cm (5.59 inches) of rain has fallen in Dubai in a single day.

A guy claimed to have seen “swarms of people” in “disorganised” lines, personnel raising their voices, and a bottle being hurled, reports Breaking News.

According to flight tracking website Flightradar24, over 800 planes leaving from Dubai International Airport had delays on Thursday and Friday.

Dubai Airports said: “This is the heaviest rainfall the UAE received in 75 years and we’re doing all we can to get operations back to normal,” reports Breaking News.
