DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO – At least 100 people have been killed and dozens injured by widespread floods and landslides on Tuesday. The floods caused by heavy rains in the Democratic Republic of Congo’s capital.

The prime minister saying officials were still searching for more bodies.

Some 12 million people live in the 24 neighborhoods hit by the floods, where people were killed, houses submerged and roads ruined.

Officials say much of the destruction happened in houses built on plots without official permission.

In 2019, flooding and landslides killed at least 32 people.
