With Dubai's highways flooded after record rain, a cat was found clinging to a submerged car's door. In a video posted by the Government of Dubai Media Office on X on Wednesday, the cat was seen clinging to a car's door handle while submerged in floodwaters.
The feline was rescued by the Dubai Police personnel who were on a boat.
The highways in Dubai, the Middle East's financial centre, have been clogged by flooding after about 259.5 millimetres of rain, the most since records began 75 years ago, fell on the United Arab Emirates on Tuesday.
Footage on social media showed several submerged and abandoned cars in Dubai.
