Civil Defence members arrive at the site of the accident in Mahdha, Oman.

The city of Al Ain mourned the young citizen Suleiman Al Shamsi, who drowned in Wadi Sharm in the state of Mahdha in the Sultanate of Oman, after he managed to save his younger brother from drowning.

The deceased was visiting the valley, which was witnessing flow due to the recent rain, on Sunday afternoon, accompanied by his younger brother, who slipped his foot and fell into a deep valley famous for its water currents that drag down debris.

He immediately jumped in to save him. He was able to pull him to a nearby rock but he was unable to save himself.

The deceased was buried in Umm Ghafa cemetery after noon prayer, with the gathering of a huge group of citizens.
