Rain has besieged areas of Dar es Salaam, the country's richest area, for two days.
The flooding has caused devastation to infrastructure across the city and many homes have been entirely destroyed.
Daniel Hayduk, a photographer based in Dar es Salaam, told BuzzFeed the situation could have been much worse if rain had continued today.
Hayduk talked about the support for victims, both in person and on Twitter.
