Deadly Congo Floods Leave Hundreds Missing and Dead

Flash floods and landslides in eastern Congo have killed over 200 people, with many more missing. Efforts to find survivors are ongoing, but several main roads to the affected area have been made impassable by the rains, hampering relief efforts. Heavy rains in recent days have brought misery to thousands in East Africa, with parts of Uganda and Kenya also seeing heavy rainfall. President Felix Tshisekedi has declared a national day of mourning on Monday to honor the victims, and the central government is sending a crisis management team to South Kivu to support the provincial government.
