After a dry summer, the first heavy rain of the season hit the Iraqi city of Erbil.
In some areas of the city, hail also fell.
This led to severe flooding, causing damage to vehicles and property.
Streets and buildings were flooded, residents sought refuge on the rooftops.
The authorities sent rescue teams to help the victims.
Erbil, the capital of Kurdistan, is known for its poor sewerage and storm water systems, which often fail during heavy rains.
Summers in the region are generally quite dry, with very little rainfall from May to November, and winters are usually rainy.
