Officials say more than a million people have been relocated from their homes in the northern region. At least 20 people died and another 27 are missing in the suburbs of the capital.
As officials warn it could take a month for the waters to recede in some areas, emergency workers are trying to restore power, water, and transport links to flood-hit communities.
