Waist-deep flood hits Cameroon's commercial capital after torrential rains
The Peninsula
DOUALA: Residents of several neighbourhoods in Cameroon's commercial capital Douala woke up to waist-deep flood water on Thursday after torrential rains battered the city for over 24 hours.
One of the worst floods the city has seen in recent years left the ground floors of hundreds of homes under water, and cut off main roads, causing massive traffic jams as the downpour overwhelmed the drainage system. "No one slept, from midnight we were upstairs," said resident Nguefack Désiré.More Related News
