Recent flooding in Tanzania and Kenya has resulted in a significant loss of life and widespread damage to property and infrastructure. In Tanzania, Prime Minister Kassim Majaliwa reported that 155 people have died and 236 others have been injured due to the heavy rains and flooding. Over 10,000 houses have been damaged, affecting more than 200,000 individuals across the country.
Prime Minister Majaliwa attributed the severe weather conditions to the El Nino rains, which have also caused landslides and destruction of crops and infrastructure such as roads, bridges, and railways. The impact of the flooding has been felt in neighboring Kenya as well.
