Severe Flooding in Eastern Congo Leaves Thousands Displaced
The floods hit Maniema province, affecting the villages of Kasera, Tubila, and Ulindi, displacing hundreds of residents. Jean-Claude Ngoy, head of civil society in Punia territory, said, “At least 2,533 households were affected after their homes were submerged by the waters. We are appealing to the provincial and national authorities as well as to humanitarian actors for support.”
In addition to housing losses, the flooding destroyed key infrastructure, including schools, healthcare facilities, and drinking water sources. An assessment conducted by local authorities, community leaders, and civil society representatives found that many residents could face food shortages, as crops and fish ponds were inundated by the rising waters.
