 At least eight people were reported drowned in severe flooding over the past two days in the southwest of Algeria, officials said Thursday.

The latest incidents occurred in the region of Bechar, more than 1,000 kilometres (600 miles) from the capital Algiers, after the normally arid region was hit with heavy rain.

The national crisis centre warned the death toll could go even higher, according to the APS news agency.

As of Tuesday, Algerian Communications Minister Abderrachid Boukerzaza said a total of 65 people had been killed in the recent heavy flooding around the country.
