AMMAN—Rescuers combed the shores of Jordan’s Dead Sea resort area early on Oct. 26 to find survivors after rain storms unleashed flash floods that killed at least 18 people, mostly school children during an outing.
Thirty seven people were rescued in a major operation involving helicopters and army and divers searching for survivors who had been swept from valleys to the shores of the area, the lowest point on earth, civil defense sources said.
