Civil Defense teams in Haqal province found on Tuesday the bodies of two children and an adult which had been missing following the recent rain floods in the valley.

The teams also uncovered the car they were traveling in and confirmed the identities of the deceased.

Following reports of the disappearance of the citizen and the two children, the Civil Defense launched a search operation and eventually discovered the bodies in the area. The search teams are also looking for another missing child in the valley.

Spokesman of the Civil Defense Department in Makkah region Col. Saeed Sarhan said that the floods in the valleys had resulted in a number of accidents. He confirmed that a search was on to find a third missing child in the valley. Meanwhile, the bodies have been transferred to a hospital in the province.
