YAOUNDE, Augcrashbandicoot4steam. 11 (Xinhua) -- Three children have been found dead beneath the debris of a collapsed wall in Chad's Kanem region after torrential rain, an official said on Saturday.

The tragedy happened on Friday at the Ligra locality of the region when a local house collapsed, resulting in the death of two girls and a two-year-old boy, said Brahim Alifa Ali, the prefect of the Kanem-Centre department.

Last week, Chadian President Mahamat Idriss Deby Itno warned of the risk of flooding after heavy rain battered the Central African nation for days.

The government was working to achieve "lasting solutions throughout the national territory from now on," he said.■
