Flood in Kinshasa, DRC, Leaves at Least Six Dead, Reports Say
All the victims were children who died when a wall collapsed under the force of the water, local news outlet Actualite reported.
Many homes—particularly those near ravines or on unstable ground—were swept away, leaving families homeless. Residents fled in panic as floods and landslides struck multiple areas, the report noted.
Local authorities reportedly visited the landslides sites and acknowledged the long-standing erosion problem.
Mayor of one of the municipalities Dieu-Merci Mayibaziluanga assured that rehabilitation work will soon restart in two phases: first stabilizing the erosion, then building drainage systems, Actualite also pointed out.
