Mumbai flooding: monsoon rains inundate streets, homes and hospitals

Scores of videos shared on social media show streets and homes in Mumbai deluged by heavy monsoon rains, driven by high winds.

The flooding has added to the woes of residents already bearing the brunt of the coronavirus pandemic.

India has the third-highest number of cases worldwide with Mumbai considered the worst-affected city.

A survey last month showed that more than half the people who live in its sprawling slums had been infected with the virus.
