His Majesty King Abdullah on Monday commended the heroic conduct of Jordanians who assisted families during the recent rainstorm.

“I am proud of you. Your courage is a source of inspiration and pride for all Jordanians,” King Abdullah told Rakan Dawaimeh, Ahmad Nobani and Amer Manasir, who rescued people that were stranded in the recent floods.

During a meeting with the three men at Al Husseiniya Palace, His Majesty said the courage they showed during the downpour was proof of their love for their homeland.

“You represent a model of bravery and courage,” the King said, thanking them and expressing appreciation of all those who risked their lives to rescue their brothers and sisters on that day.

During the November 5 storm, heavy rain flooded several streets and some buildings in the capital, endangering people’s lives.

His Majesty directed the government to draw up a mechanism, as soon as possible, to extend aid to families whose homes were damaged and who incurred losses during the storm, especially for those with limited income.

During the storm, Dawaimeh and Nobani rescued a family of six members whose home was entirely flooded in Hai Nazzal.

Manasir, who works at the Jordan Customs Department, saved the life of an elderly man who was stranded in his car, which was submerged in floodwater in Abdali.

Dawaimeh, Nobani and Manasir said they were overwhelmed by the Royal gesture, noting that it will be an incentive for them to further serve the country and its people.
