DRC’s worst floods in decades leave tens of thousands in temporary shelter
Tens of thousands of people in the Democratic Republic of the Congo are living in temporary accommodation and waiting for government help after the country experienced its worst flooding in six decades. More than 300 people have died and 280,000 households in more than half the country have been forced to leave their homes since heavy rains started at the end of November. More than 1,500 schools, 267 health centres, 211 markets and 146 roads have been damaged. In January, the government declared a hydrological and ecological catastrophe after the Congo River overflowed, flooding the capital, Kinshasa. The country’s president, Félix Tshisekedi, who won his second term in office in December after a contested election, last week ordered ministers to deal with the crisis. Last Saturday, the minister for humanitarian action, Modeste Mutinga Mutuishayi, was dispatched to oversee the distribution of blankets, pots and tents to 900 households in the capital.
But Jackson Lukungula, from Tshopo province in north-eastern DRC, said: “The government remains silent about this flooding. The government is yet to send people to affected provinces. “We have a high school here in Kisangani which is overwhelmed. The government does not act. Many pupils are changing the way they travel to school because the usual streets are flooded.” He said a Catholic convent was under water “but the central government and the provincial government are not acting”.
