💨 Abstract

A devastating flood in Kasaba, near Lake Tanganyika in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), has resulted in over 100 deaths, according to local officials. The floods, which occurred between Thursday night and Friday, were caused by torrential rains and strong winds. The village is accessible only via the lake and lacks a mobile network, complicating relief efforts. This disaster coincides with intensified fighting by Rwanda-backed M23 rebels, further exacerbating the humanitarian crisis.
