Over 400 Killed in Flash Floods in Eastern Congo

Torrential rains in eastern Congo caused rivers to overflow, wiping out villages and leaving at least 401 people dead.
The flooding was one of the deadliest natural disasters in Congo's recent history.
Heavy rains led to landslides and flash floods that devastated the villages of Bushushu and Nyamukubi.
The destruction hampered relief efforts as roads were washed out, delaying aid to survivors who lost everything.
The UN Secretary-General said the disaster illustrated how climate change is worsening extreme weather in Africa.
