Cairo, Egypt (CNN) -- Heavy rains and strong winds lashed parts of the Middle East Sunday, rocking ships in the eastern Mediterranean Sea and damaging dozens of buildings in Egypt, government officials and state-run media reported.
The low-pressure system left a wake of destruction as it moved across the region, producing 48 sustained hours of severe weather conditions, noted CNN meteorologist Taylor Ward.
In the port city of Alexandria, strong winds and heavy rains contributed to the partial collapse of at least 28 buildings, state-run Nile TV reported.
The death toll Monday stood at 11, with another 11 injured, according to a Health Ministry assistant in Alexandria. CNN
