Tunisia is grappling with catastrophic flooding following the worst torrential rains in over 70 years, leading to at least four confirmed deaths. The relentless downpour inundated streets, swallowed vehicles, and disrupted life across various provinces.
Authorities are concerned that the death count could escalate as emergency services work tirelessly to tackle the devastating aftermath. Key areas, especially those in low-lying neighborhoods, were isolated due to the surging waters, leaving citizens stranded.
In response to the calamity, schools in Tunis, Nabeul, Sousse, and Beja were shuttered and public transport was severely hampered. Videos circulating on social media reveal the terrifying power of the floods as they swept away debris and engulfed coastal regions.
