The flash flooding disrupted overland transportation across the region, leading to full and partial closures along key transit routes, including the M20 highway linking Deir ez-Zor to the capital, Damascus. Five people, including four children, were killed and five others are missing after heavy rainfall and flash floods hit several Syrian provinces, the Emergency and Disaster Management Ministry said Thursday.
