More than 5500 people are still unaccounted for in an area in east Democratic of Congo where floods killed more than 400 people last week, a local official says, as shaken survivors wait for food aid.
Scores of bodies have been recovered from the villages of Bushushu and Nyamukubi in South Kivu province’s Kalehe territory since torrential rain caused landslides and flash floods on Thursday, flattening buildings and sweeping away crops.
