00:00Days of intense rainfall, flooded streets, homes and commercial areas across large parts
00:12of Tunisia, paralyzing daily life in Tunis and several inland regions.
00:17Emergency services were deployed as water levels rose rapidly, forcing closures of schools,
00:23public institutions and private businesses, while dozens of families were evacuated from
00:29high-risk neighborhoods.
00:33Everything available to the state must be fully mobilized, including all ministries, the
00:36Ministry of Equipment, the Ministry of Agriculture, as well as Civil Protection and the regional
00:41authorities.
00:42Thank God, today the armed forces also intervene with trucks to carry out rescue operations.
00:48The first priority is saving lives.
00:51In low-lying and coastal districts of the capital, floodwaters, inundated shops and homes, leaving
00:57many residents unable to work or even access their neighborhoods.
01:02For small business owners, the damage is recurring and often devastating.
01:09Every time it rains, I lose everything.
01:11The floods rise to the same level as the sea in this area.
01:14I was unable to reach my flower shop for two days.
01:17Civil protection teams tried to help, but there was little they could do.
01:20Beyond the rainfall itself, residents point to structural problems that continue to worsen
01:26flooding risks.
01:28Aging drainage networks, uncontrolled urban expansion and blocked sewers have left many
01:34neighborhoods unable to absorb heavy rain, turning streets into rivers within hours.
01:39I blame city residents who build in high-risk areas and litter the streets.
01:46Years of accumulated garbage have clogged the sewers, preventing rainwater from draining and
01:51causing our neighborhoods to flood.
01:53Tunisia's flooding reflects a wider regional crisis.
01:56In Morocco, authorities evacuated more than 50,000 people from the northwestern city of Qasar al-Kbir
02:02after weeks of heavy rain.
02:04In Algeria, flush floods damage farmland and cause livestock losses in several provinces,
02:11highlighting shared climate vulnerabilities across North Africa.
02:15Over the past two weeks, North Africa has experienced a series of extreme weather phenomena, mainly
02:22marked by heavy rainfall over a short period, following eight years of drought.
02:26At the same time, these rains were accompanied by flooding and relatively strong winds affecting
02:31Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia.
02:36As emergency teams remain on alert, meteorologists warn that North Africa is experiencing a rise
02:42in the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events, increasing the risk of flooding across
02:49the region.
02:50Climate experts say the floods expose deep vulnerabilities in cities, unprepared for climate extremes.
02:57For many here, what was once exceptional is fast becoming the new normal.
