Over 100 dead as flooding submerges village in DR Congo

  • Heavy flooding struck eastern Democratic Republic of Congo between the night of May 8 and morning of May 9, affecting villages along Lake Tanganyika including Kasaba.
  • The flooding was triggered by intense rains that led the Kasaba river to breach its banks, with death toll estimates varying as search efforts for victims continue.
  • Local officials, including sector and village chiefs, and the Red Cross faced difficult rescue conditions due to shutdowns of telephone lines and lack of mobile coverage in the area.
  • Authorities confirmed at least 62 dead and 50 missing, while local administrator Samy Kalodji cited reports indicating over 100 deaths and 150 homes destroyed in Kasaba.
  • The flooding worsened an already severe humanitarian crisis in eastern Congo, where conflict and prior disasters have left thousands dead and relief efforts challenged.
