Dubai airport gripped by major disruption as unprecedented rains continue to batter Gulf
Some inbound flights to the world's second busiest airport resume, but many passengers remain stranded.
Operations at Dubai airport are still severely disrupted as heavy rains continue to batter the United Arab Emirates and neighbouring countries.
The storm pounded the UAE on Tuesday, flooding roads and the sections of the busy international airport.
Flash floods have now killed 20 people in Oman and one in the UAE.
