The United Arab Emirates experienced its heaviest rainfall in 75 years on April 15, 2023, causing widespread flooding and damage. Dubai was particularly hard-hit, with the rains killing at least one person, damaging homes and businesses, disrupting air travel, and bringing the city to a standstill. The government has announced $544 million to repair the homes of Emirati families, and a ministerial committee has been assigned to assess infrastructure damage and propose solutions.
