Several Tunisian states suspended classes on Tuesday due to heavy rains, causing floods that hit residential areas and main roads. Water flooded several neighborhoods in the northern suburbs of the capital and other northeastern regions, where authorities raised the alert level to the 'maximum' in the governorates of Tunis and surrounding areas, as well as in the governorate of Nabeul. The governorates of Sousse, Monastir, and Zaghouan were also placed on a 'high alert'. Circulating videos showed damage to residential areas and cars stuck in the middle of flooded roads, with warnings of rising water levels in wadis. Weather forecasters predicted more rain to continue on Monday night and Tuesday. Regional disaster response committees in the governorates of Tunis, Bizerte, and Nabeul announced the suspension of classes in all schools, training institutions, and universities to ensure student safety.
