A Pakistani truck driver's family in Sharjah's Al Ghubeiba area endured a harrowing ordeal after torrential rainfall on Saturday (March 9) left their home in ruins.
Unable to find shelter, his eight children, his wife, and their two goats were forced to spend the night under the open sky. "We are picking up the pieces," lamented the wife, describing how the rain poured through the roof, destroying everything inside, including their beds and provisions. "Even the groceries we bought ahead of Ramadan are soaked in water. My husband was at work, and we were caught unaware."

Siblings Omar, 9, and Mohammad, 7, described how their mattresses are soaking wet and their clothes are unwearable. "We had to calm down our two baby goats. They were scared," Omar added.
None of the children go to school.
Videos and images shared by an Emirati woman who visited the house late last night depict the extent of the damage, showing overflowing buckets and tubs placed under leaky roofs, with destroyed belongings strewn amidst the slush.

"It was a heart-wrenching sight," said the Emirati. "Their need is urgent, and their resilience inspiring. Let's unite and extend a helping hand to this family as they prepare for Ramadan. They are struggling to afford basic necessities, unable to send their kids to school, let alone rebuild their shattered home."
