Floods covers several villages in Egypt

Egyptian dailies on Thursday said that floods had covered the villages of Dar al-Salaam and Akhyam in Suhaj on Wednesday dawn and four houses were damaged.

Egypt's al-Akhbar daily said that heavy rainfall destroyed four houses, but no human casualties were reported. Suhaj governor Ahmad Abdul Aziz told the Egyptian daily al-Joumhourieh that flood channels built last year rescued Suhaj from drowning.
