The Jeddah flood of 2009 was one of the worst storms to ever hit Saudi Arabia. Unusually heavy rainfall overwhelmed Jeddah's infrastructure, resulting in extensive damage, many deaths including women and children, and criticism of the government's response. While official figures reported relatively few casualties, some claimed the actual death toll was much higher due to challenges in reporting. The flood triggered upgrades to Jeddah's infrastructure and increased environmental awareness and emergency preparedness.
