DAYS OF SEVERE Snow STORM HITS the MIDDLE EAST
A
severe winter storm pounded the Middle East for a third day on Friday bringing
with it heavy snow and floods. In the West Bank city of Ramallah residents
struggled to walk outside as mounds of snow blanketed the streets. In some
parts of Israel and the West Bank government offices and schools were closed to
wait out the winter weather. In Jerusalem on Thursday schools cancelled classes
and buses in and out of the city were not operating. Snow blanketed palm and
cypress trees. It also battered most parts of central and southern Jordan,
shutting down government offices, causing power disruptions, blocking roads and
stranding motorists.
