Kinshasa, June 16 (UNI) At least 29 people were killed over the weekend by heavy rains in the capital of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), local authorities said Monday.
Unusual downpours in the dry season caused major damage in the city, flooding roads, crippling infrastructure and triggering widespread power and water outages.
Evacuation and temporary resettlement efforts were underway, said Kinshasa governor Daniel Bumba, who also urged locals to enhance disaster awareness and take preventive measures.
