Seven people have been confirmed dead following the recent floods that hit parts of the UAE.

The Ministry of Interior, which initially announced six deaths, said the seventh victim was an Asian expat who was reported missing earlier.

The authority offered its condolences to the families of the victims.

Brigadier General Dr. Ali Salem Al Tunaiji, Director General of Federal Central Operations at the Ministry, said field teams are still carrying out evacuations in flood-affected areas of Fujairah, Ras Al Khaimah and Sharjah.

In the video update, he said nearly 80 per cent of those who were displaced from their homes have been able to return.
