"Deadly Floods Devastate Democratic Republic of Congo, Over 400 Killed"

More than 400 people have died due to floods and landslides in the Democratic Republic of Congo's South Kivu province caused by heavy rainfall. The affected villages of Bushushu and Nyamukubi in South Kivu's Kalehe territory have been devastated, with buildings swept away in the water and mud. Rescue operations are ongoing despite difficulties, and the provincial government is relocating affected residents to safer sites. The DRC is located within the River Congo Basin where flood disasters are frequently reported, and climate-related disasters are likely to increase in frequency and magnitude due to climate change.
