 Floods kill 15 people in Angola


Torrential rains have swept across Angola, killing 15 people and flooding over 4,000 homes, emergency services said on Sunday, AFP reported.


The hours-long storm triggered flash floods that inundated streets and damaged infrastructure in the capital Luanda and the southern city of Benguela on the country's Atlantic coast.


Benguela bore the brunt of the devastation, with 12 deaths reported there and three in Luanda, the fire service said, citing a preliminary report.

Zambezi River water levels surge

Officials said water levels had reached about 6.8 metres (22 feet), well above the usual four metres.


Authorities have relocated residents to nine temporary camps, including one sheltering more than 2,700 people, officials told AFP on Saturday.
