Heavy rainfall has led to a major humanitarian and logistical emergency. The intense storm occurred over the weekend of October 3 and 4, 2026, bringing diluvian precipitation with cumulative rainfall exceeding 100 to 142 mm in some areas within 24 to 48 hours. This has resulted in infrastructure collapses, loss of life, and significant disruptions to main roads, completely halting traffic.

The flooding has affected several regions, with a particularly devastating impact on the capital and urban areas. Certain communes, including Grand-Yoff and Parcelles, have been affected. Further details on the situation are available from the source.

The severity of the situation has prompted concerns about the ongoing humanitarian crisis.
