🇹🇿 Destruction as floods wreak havoc in Tanzania
Floods have damaged houses and roads and killed an unspecified number of people after heavy rains pounded Tanzania's commercial capital of Dar es Salaam for two days.
Some houses near rivers collapsed and some roads and bridges were destroyed, making it difficult to navigate through the city.
The main Bagamoyo road that joins the city to the northern regions was inaccessible on Sunday after a downpour flooded the area.
Tanzania's President Samia Suluhu Hassan on Sunday asked citizens to take precautions by avoiding affected areas. She also called on the rescue authorities to make sure that the rains do not cause deaths.
The Tanzania Meteorological Agency has warned of heavy rains for the rest of this month.
