Sandstorm turns sky orange, closes shops in Kuwait

The sky in Kuwait turned bright orange on Monday as a severe sandstorm blanketed the country. For the second time this month, Kuwait International Airport suspended all flights because of the dust.

Footage showed sparsely populated streets with poor visibility. Earlier this month, another storm forced all schools and government offices to shut down. The sandstorm is affecting several other countries in the region and is expected to last for two days.
