The DRC floods happened days after deadly flooding in Rwanda, on the other side of Lake Kivu, which killed roughly 130 people. Uganda also experienced flooding, which caused 18 deaths and left thousands displaced.
Extreme weather events are occurring with increased frequency in the region, from a severe drought in the eastern Horn of Africa to excessive rainfall in other parts of east and central Africa
