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

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.
