Record Tunisia floods kill four people

Flooding in Tunisia has killed four people, authorities said on Tuesday, with one official reporting a “critical” situation as parts of the North African country experienced their heaviest rainfall in more than 70 years.
All four deaths occurred in Moknine, in the Monastir governorate, where “two people were swept away by floodwaters, while a woman drowned in her home”, said Khalil Mechri, a civil defence spokesman. — AFP
