At least 21 people, including three children, died after heavy rainfall inundated the Dominican Republic over the weekend, authorities said Sunday, warning the downpours were linked to worsening climate change.

Torrential storms over the past 48 hours have caused flooding, damaged infrastructure and brought down houses in the Caribbean nation, in what President Luis Abinader has called the "largest rainfall event ever" in the country's history.

"Those who do not believe in climate change, start believing," said Abinader, who spoke of "extensive and substantial" damages, though without detailing precise figures.

The rains, from a tropical depression, are expected to continue across portions of the country for the next 24 hours, the US embassy said in a weather alert.

In one particularly deadly incident, a wall collapsed Sunday onto several vehicles traveling on a major avenue in the capital, Santo Domingo, killing nine.

The water "infiltrated a saturated subsoil," and the foundation of the concrete wall gave way, the Ministry of Public Works said Sunday.

An investigation into the incident has been ordered by the ministry.

Nine other people died in separate instances in Santo Domingo on the same day. Others have died after being swept away by flood waters.

Some 13,000 people have been evacuated across the country, according to the Emergency Operations Center, and a majority of the nation's 32 provinces are under an alert designation.

Some areas are seeing electricity and drinking water outages.

Classes have been suspended until Wednesday, Abinader said, "in order to evaluate the schools that may have been affected" and "guarantee the safety of our young people."

Four of the dead are US nationals, and three are from neighboring Haiti.

At the end of August, the passage of storm Franklin through the Dominican Republic left two dead and one missing, and forced the evacuation of some 3,000 people from areas in dangerous conditions.

Hundreds of people have been killed after Storm Daniel swept through the Mediterranean over the weekend, bringing strong winds and heavy floods to several countries, including Libya, over the past two days. The death toll was not immediately clear amid conflict reports ranging from hundreds to thousands of people, said a report by Reuters, on Monday (September 11) citing senior officials.&nbsp;

The storm in question also brought torrential rains and wreaked havoc in Turkey, Bulgaria and <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/greece-at-least-15-killed-after-storm-daniel-brings-most-intense-rainstorms-since-1930-634668">Greece</a>.&nbsp;

<h2>About the victims</h2>

According to the head of the eastern Libyan government, Osama Hamad, more than 2,000 people have died in the coastal city of Derna and thousands of others were reported to be missing.&nbsp;

However, he did not give a source for his data and the figures could not be verified independently since the country is politically split east and west with two rival administrations in charge and crumbling public services since a 2011 NATO-backed uprising.

Hamad is the head of the government which is not internationally recognised and operates in the eastern regions of the country that are controlled by Khalifa Haftar’s Libyan National Army (LNA).&nbsp;

The head of the Red Crescent aid group in the region said Derna’s death toll was expected to rise. “We recorded at least 150 deaths (in Derna) after the collapse of buildings. We expect death toll to rise to 250. The situation is very catastrophic,” Red Crescent’s Kais Fhakeri told Reuters.&nbsp;

Mohamed Massoud, a spokesman for the Benghazi-based administration in Libya, said that at least 150 people have been killed due to “flooding and torrential rains left by storm Daniel in Derna, Jabal al-Akhdar region and the suburbs of Al-Marj,” as quoted by AFP.&nbsp;

Massoud said that hundreds of residents are said to be trapped and rescuers, backed by the army, are trying to come to their aid. He added that the east Libyan authorities had “lost contact with nine soldiers during rescue operations”.&nbsp;

<h2>What do we know about the damage?</h2>

Reports citing images and videos by residents in the flood-stricken areas said that parts of the country are witnessing swamping roads and some buildings were also destroyed in Derna. The storm also swept through other settlements along the coast, including Libya’s second-biggest city of Benghazi.

Some images also show massive mudslides, collapsed buildings and entire neighbourhoods submerged under muddy water, reported AFP. Images posted by Almostkbal TV show a collapsed road between Sousse and Shahat, home to the Greek-founded and UNESCO-listed archaeological site Cyrene.

“Entire neighbourhoods in Derna have disappeared, along with their residents...swept away by water,” Hamad told al-Masar TV.&nbsp;

Derna resident Saleh al-Obaidi told Reuters how he managed to flee with his family after houses in a valley near the city had collapsed. “People were asleep and woke up and found their homes surrounded by water,” he added.&nbsp;

Reuters citing witnesses said that the water level in Derna had reached three metres (10 feet).&nbsp;

<h2>Officials respond to disaster</h2>

Libya’s eastern-based parliament declared three days of mourning after the disaster. Reuters citing witnesses also said that search-and-rescue operations were ongoing and the authorities have declared a state of extreme emergency, closing schools and stores and imposing a curfew.

The United Nations in Libya said it was following the storm closely and would “provide urgent relief assistance in support of response efforts at local and national levels”.&nbsp;

Meanwhile, the Prime Minister of the interim western government in Tripoli, Abdulhamid al-Dbeibah, announced three days of mourning in affected cities, calling them “disaster cities” and emphasised “the unity of all Libyans” in the face of the disaster.

Libya: Hundreds feared dead after Storm Daniel causes ‘catastrophic’ floods

At least 31 people were killed in an extratropical cyclone which was caused by torrential rain and winds in southern Brazil, said officials on Wednesday&nbsp;(September 6), while issuing more warnings of floods to come in days ahead. 
 
In a press conference, Governor Eduardo Leite said that it is the latest in several weather disasters that have hit Brazil and the deadliest ever to have hit the state of Rio Grande do Sul.

"Unfortunately, I received confirmation of four more deaths," stated Governor Eduardo Leite, updating the latest total death toll to 31.

"There are still a lot of families stranded on the roofs of their houses. There are thousands of people who still need to be rescued," he stated.

The officials stated that the storms, which began on Monday, forced more than 3,700 people from their homes. In less than 24 hours, the state received more than 300 millimetres of rain and hail which triggered landslides and floods.

"There are still people missing. The death toll might climb higher," said Mayor Mateus Trojan, while speaking to Radio Gaucha. "The town of Mucum as we knew it no longer exists,” he added. 
 
Helicopters were used by rescue workers to reach isolated areas which were cut off due to the flooding. A message of solidarity was sent by President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva to those affected, stating that the federal government is "ready to help." 
 
The authorities said that more than 60 cities were hit by the storms in all, which affected more than 50,000 people. One death was also recorded in the neighbouring state of Santa Catarina, as per news site G1.

Torrential rains, cyclone kill 31 in Southern Brazil

At least three people have died and three others were missing after heavy rains lashed Spain and triggered flash floods, said officials on Monday (September 4). The floods have prompted the closure of roads, subway lines, and high-speed train connections.&nbsp;

<h2>Spain floods after sudden downpour</h2>

Spain witnessed a sudden downpour due to a storm over the weekend that has affected almost the entire country, with the heaviest rains recorded on Sunday (Sep 3) in the coastal provinces of Cadiz, Tarragona and Castello, said the country’s weather service AEMET.&nbsp;

At least three people died around the central city of Toledo, some 50 kilometres southwest of Madrid, which according to AEMET, received a record rainfall of 90 litres per square metre on Sunday.&nbsp;

Emergency services deployed helicopters to rescue people who had sought refuge on the roofs of their homes in Toledo. The police said one of the victims, a young man, was trapped in a lift that filled up with water, while another was inside a vehicle when it got flooded, reported Reuters.&nbsp;

Additionally, the body of a 50-year-old man, who was reported to be missing, was found floating in a river near his home in the town of Camarena, also in the province of Toledo.&nbsp;

<h2>About those missing</h2>

Emergency services in the Madrid region said that they dealt with at least 1,200 incidents overnight, adding that the firefighters and police were searching for one man in the rural area of Aldea del Fresno.&nbsp;

The man went missing with his 10-year-old son when their car was dragged into the Alberche River after a sudden rise in water level, Madrid’s emergency services, Javier Chivite, told public television RTVE.

“The minor was rescued after he had climbed up a tree,” said the Madrid emergency service. They had also rescued the boy’s mother and sister earlier in the day. “The poor boy spent the night perched in a tree,” said the head of the regional government of Madrid, Isabel Diaz Ayuso.&nbsp;

Reports citing officials also said that the police are looking for an 83-year-old man who was swept away by floodwaters in the neighbouring town of Villamanta and a woman who went missing in the town of Valmojado in Toledo.&nbsp;

<h2>‘Weatherman’s woe’</h2>

As per Reuters, rains continued on early Monday which transformed streets into rivers of mud that swept away cars and trash bins in Madrid, Castile-La Mancha, Catalonia, and Valencia regions.&nbsp;

In an update on Monday, AEMET said the cut-off low phenomenon – also known as weatherman’s woe – which caused the downpour is starting to move away from the country.&nbsp;

Residents of the Madrid region received an emergency text in Spanish and English accompanied by a loud alarm, on Sunday, asking them not to use their vehicles and stay at home due to <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/red-alert-in-spain-as-torrential-rain-causes-flash-floods-632068">“extreme risk of storms”</a>.
