On October 2nd, near a small village called el-Bayadh, there was a flood. This village is located near Algeria's capital, Algiers. 10 people died in this flood including three children who were swept away by an overflowing river. Also a mother and her baby are missing, they [also] could have been pulled down river. Hundreds of homes were also destroyed because of the flood, which obviously leaves many people homeless. Also many bridges and roads recived severe damage from the flood. During [the month of] October, Algeria usually experiences heavy rain fall which is most likey the cause of the flood.
