Heavy rain has continued to batter Gulf states, causing deadly flash floods and disrupting flights at the world's second-busiest airport. Dubai International Airport warned of "very challenging conditions" and advised some passengers not to turn up due to areas being inundated by water. Further north, a man died when his car was caught in flash floods. In Oman, rescuers found the body of a girl in Saham, bringing the death toll in the country to 19 since Sunday. On Wednesday, about 300 flights to and from Dubai International Airport - a major hub for connecting flights to every continent - were cancelled, according to Flight Aware data, and hundreds more were delayed. The airport, which last year served more than 80 million passengers, second only to Atlanta in the United States, warned recovery would take "some time".
