Deadly Floods and Landslides Devastate Northern Tanzania

At least 47 people have been killed and 85 injured in landslides caused by flooding in northern Tanzania, with warnings that the death toll could rise. The region has been experiencing heavy rain and flooding linked to the El Nino weather phenomenon. East Africa has been hit by torrential rain for weeks, displacing over a million people in Somalia and causing devastating floods and landslides in Rwanda. The Horn of Africa is particularly vulnerable to climate change, with extreme weather events becoming more frequent and intense. African leaders are calling for global taxes and changes to international financial institutions to fund climate change action.
