A Yemeni wedding party on Saturday turned into a disaster after floods inundated southern Yemen, causing the death of 27 people and 41 more lost when the vehicle with the wedding party was swept away. The vehicles were driving across Wadi Nakhla, a valley flooded by the monsoon rains, between Taiz City and Ibb province.

Among the victims are three women and four children aboard three vehicles that were accompanying the bride to her new house across Wadi Nakhla. The bride, fortunately survived the accident.

Besides ruining the wedding party and killing relatives of the bride, the monsoon also created flash floods that have killed at least 10 other Yemenis in the past two days and damaged crops.
