At least two people were killed in the city of Tamanrasset in the far south of Algeria. The floods led to the closure of roads, while dozens were rescued due to the unprecedented floods that hit several desert provinces.

In the province of Bechar in the southwest of the country, floods swept away a bridge in the center of the city due to the forceful flow of water.

Civil protection teams intervened to evacuate families after the waters flooded several residential neighborhoods in the provinces of Naama and Bechar, according to a statement from the Civil Protection.
