A senior Yemeni police official on Saturday said 49 people have been killed by floods sweeping through the south caused by a massive tropical storm.
Hamid el-Kharashi, a police chief in the southern province of Hadramut, said the death toll is expected to rise as scores of people are still missing and hundreds of families are homeless or trapped by the rising waters.
A tropical storm on Thursday smashed into Yemen's remote Hadramut province.
Damage has been extensive because most homes in the area are made of mud brick.
