       At least 17 people have died in flash floods triggered by heavy rain
       across Oman since Sunday, the country’s National Committee for
       Emergency Management (NCEM) reports.
       
       On Tuesday, the government suspended the work of employees and workers
       in the public and private sectors in five governorates, including
       Musandam, Al Buraimi, Al Dhahirah, and Al Dakhiliyah, due to the
       weather conditions.
       
       The government has allowed employees to work remotely if possible.
       
       Authorities in Oman are conducting “rescue operations” after
       announcing all schools in six governorates including Muscat, would be
       closed Monday “due to unstable weather conditions,” according to a
       Monday UNOCHA statement.
       
       Moderate heavy rainfall is expected across north-eastern and northern
       Oman over the next few days.
