Tanzania's prime minister says flooding caused by weeks of heavy rain has killed 155 people and affected more than 200,000 others.
Flooding in Tanzania caused by weeks of heavy rain has killed 155 people and affected more than 200,000 others, the prime minister said Thursday. That is more than double the number of deaths reported two weeks ago as the heavy rainfall continues, especially in the coastal region and the capital, Dar es Salaam. Prime Minister Kassim Majaliwa told parliament that the El Niño climate pattern has worsened the ongoing rainy season, causing flooding and destroying roads, bridges and railways.
Majaliwa warned those living in low-lying areas to move to higher ground and urged local officials to ensure that provisions meant for those whose homes were washed away go to those who need it. He said more than 51,000 households have been affected by the rains. The East African region is experiencing heavy rains, with flooding also reported in neighboring Burundi and Kenya.
