Tanzania. 200,000 victims after the floods

More than 50,000 homes were affected and 236 people were injured.

According to the head of the Tanzanian government, this cataclysm is a consequence of the El Niño climate phenomenon that has worsened the current rainy season, causing floods, landslides and destroying roads, bridges and railways.

Kassim Majaliwa said the government has taken measures to prevent further catastrophic situations, such as closing schools in areas severely affected by floods.

Meanwhile, the Tanzania National Roads Agency, the Tanzania Rural and Urban Roads Agency and the Tanzania Railways Corporation have been ordered to carry out an urgent assessment of damage to roads and railways in order to carry out urgent reconstruction, the Prime Minister added.

According to the Tanzania Meteorological Office. Heavy rains, under the influence of El Niño weather conditions, are expected to continue until May.
