Torrential rains and flooding kill four in Tunisia

Torrential rains and flooding in northeastern Tunisia have left at least four dead, including two sisters, the interior ministry said Sunday.

A 60-year-old man drowned near the town of Takilsa, 60 kilometres (37 miles) east of the capital Tunis, and another man was found dead in Bir Bouregba, close to the town of Hammamet, ministry spokesman Sofiene Zaag told AFP.

In Bou Argoub, 45 kilometres southeast of the capital, two sisters were swept away by flash floods as they left the factory where they worked, Zaag said.
