Egypt – Thunderstorms and flooding around Egypt entered a second day Friday, interrupting daily life in much of the country, including the capital Cairo, as the death toll rose to 21, authorities said. Most of the victims were in rural areas and slums. At least six children died either from electrocution or when their houses collapsed on them. Late on Thursday, Cairo’s Water Authority announced it had suspended water service to the entire megacity because heavy rain had overwhelmed the vast sewage system. The floods forced the country’s railway authorities to suspend train service nationwide. Power outages were also reported in several parts of the country, including parts of Cairo.
Pakistan – Torrential rains flooded large swathes of land in the Tank district and the Kulachi tehsil of DI Khan. A flood protection wall in Tank was reported to have been destroyed owing to the strong flow of waters. As a result, nearby villages were inundated with floodwater. It forced the Tank district administration to make announcements from loudspeakers, advising residents to take refuge at elevated places. The administration town of Tank district was also reported to have at least been partially submerged. The heavy rains in the province caused at least four rain-related deaths reported in Dera Ismail (DI) Khan in two separate incidents.
