Salalah: A supervisor at a Relief and Shelter Sector in Dhofar has announced that all citizens and residents can now leave the temporary shelter and return to their homes, as the effects of the tropical system have ended.


A total of 4,620 people were registered in shelter centers during the tropical conditions, including 911 Omanis and 3,709 non-Omanis. There were 43 schools and 26 hotel establishments that served as shelter centers, with a total capacity of 15,000 people.


The supervisor thanked all of the staff and volunteers who worked tirelessly to provide assistance to those who were affected by the weather conditions.


The Civil Defence and Ambulance Authority's teams in Dhofar Governorate transferred patients from alternative hospitals to Sultan Qaboos Hospital in Salalah, after the effects of the tropical condition ended.


Oman Meterology earlier said the direct effect of the tropical condition Tej has concluded. The tropical depression is to dissipate over Yemen with a chance of isolated rainfall over Dhofar governorate.


The sea remains moderate along the coastal areas of Dhofar and Al Wusta with a maximum wave height of 2 meters.
