Flooding has trapped residents in traffic, offices and homes.

Dubai International Airport will return to its full operational capacity within 24 hours, Dubai Airports Chief Operating Officer Majed Al Joker told state news agency WAM on Thursday.

“Once operations are back to normal, we will assess the damages and would be able to give figure for the size of losses,” Al Joker told Al Arabiya TV in a televised interview. Many reported leaks at their homes, while footage circulated on social media showed malls overrun with water pouring from roofs.

Emergency services were working hard to clear waterlogged roads using fire trucks to pump out the water all over the city which has been brought to a near standstill whilst people assess the damage to their homes and businesses following the rare and epic rainstorm that swamped the United Arab Emirates.
