Just weeks (click here) after 21 people died in flash floods near the Dead Sea, another deadly flooding event occurred in Jordan on Friday.
At least 12 people were killed after heavy rainfall triggered flash flooding in several areas of the country, including in the Madaba region and the ancient city of Petra, according to the Associated Press (AP). Two children and a diver assisting in rescue efforts are among the dead.
In Petra, more than 3,700 tourists were forced to evacuate to higher ground as the floodwaters rushed in, according to Aljazeera.
Water rushed through a dry, narrow canyon which leads to Petra's main attraction, the Treasury. The site will remain closed to visitors until Sunday....
