Tanzania's commercial capital, Dar es Salaam, has experienced severe flooding, resulting in damaged houses, roads, and casualties due to heavy rains over two days.

Houses near rivers collapsed, and roads and bridges were destroyed, hampering transportation within the city. The main Bagamoyo road connecting the city to the northern regions became inaccessible.

President Samia Suluhu Hassan urged citizens to take precautions and avoid affected areas while calling on rescue authorities to prevent rain-related fatalities.

The Tanzania Meteorological Agency has issued warnings of continued heavy rains throughout the remainder of the month.
