Some 150 people have died in a fire at a petrol station in Ghana's capital, Accra, officials say.
The
fire on Wednesday night started as people in the city were trying to
cope with two days of heavy rain, which has left many homeless and
without power.
The flooding hampered rescue efforts and may have led to the fire, the BBC's Sammy Darko reports from Accra.
President John Dramani Mahama has announced three days of national mourning to begin on Monday.
It
is thought that people were in the petrol station sheltering from the
downpours when the fire broke out, our correspondent says.
A further 25 people have died in the floods, officials say.
President Mahama visited the burnt-out petrol station and described the deaths as "catastrophic" and "almost unprecedented".
He vowed to take tough measures to stop people building on waterways, which appeared to have been a factor in the disaster.
"I
think that the time has come for us to remove houses out of water and
the public should understand that it is necessary to save everybody
else," he said.
Following an emergency meeting of cabinet and
security chiefs on how to tackle flooding, the government says it will
release £9m ($14m) to help flood victims.
Schools were closed across the capital and children asked to stay at home.
Bus conductor Yaw Aforve was sleeping in his vehicle which was parked at the petrol station when the fire started.
He said he jumped into the floodwaters and when he came up for air, the fire burnt his face.
"I was swept away by the water to the other side [of the road]," he added. "I saw so many people screaming and shouting."
The flooding helped cause the fire, the Ghana fire service said.
The
waters "caused the diesel and petrol to flow away from the gas station,
and fire from a nearby house led to the explosion", spokesman Billy
Anaglate said, the Associated Press news agency reports.
On the scene - Sammy Darko, BBC Africa, Accra
Two days of heavy rain has brought much of the city to its knees.
There are chaotic scenes with cars being carried away by the water and many roads blocked off.
Hundreds
have been trapped in their offices and some have been forced to spend
the night in their cars as traffic came to a standstill.
Parts of
Accra have been left without power as electricity sub-stations have
been damaged in the flooding, which is making the ongoing energy
shortages even worse.
Many homes have been flooded and people have been wandering around in their nightclothes after being forced to leave their beds.
One
man told a local radio station that he had put his children on top of a
wardrobe to save them from the water coming into his house.
Weather forecasters are saying that more rain is on its way. Correction
5 June: This story was amended to make it clear that 150 people are
believed to have died in the petrol station blaze and 25 from the
flooding.

She wrote a sweet message to her husband, David, on Instagram, thanking him for his support:
To my jewel of inestimable value who stood by me through it all
I mean it when I say that I would’ve not made it this far without you!
You are my ROCK. You studied with me when I lacked enthusiasm, you acted
as all sorts of patients during my osce practice, you encouraged me
when I lacked motivation, you dried my tears when I got emotional, you
patted my back and massaged my feet after long nights of studying, we
stayed up early mornings dancing to ease away my stress when you had
work in a few hours, you were patient with me when I got frustrated, you
kissed my forehead everyday and told me “it will be ok”, above all YOU
BELIEVED IN ME when I didn’t believe in myself
..David I don’t know if you’re human because really I never met or
heard of anyone like you! I count myself the luckiest woman to have you
as a husband. I did this for the both of us, for our future, for our
unborn children. I hope I continue to make you proud! MY KING #AdannaDavid#RCSIcommencement

What a beauty! And she was a college graduate. This is the 24 year old graduate of University of Maryland who was shot dead
on Monday June 1st by her ex-boyfriend, 27 year old Donald Bricker.
Mariam Folashade Adebayo broke up with Donald a few months ago but he
refused to leave her alone. On the night of the murder, he'd told her to
meet him so they could talk, saying he would harm himself if she didn't
come. She went to see him and they began arguing in his car in a
parking lot at Target. When Mariam decided she'd had enough, she got out
of the car and that was when Donald followed with a gun in his hand and
fired at her...twice. See photo of the murderer after the cut...
