ALT Heavy rains have led to massive devastation in eastern DRC. In Uvira, eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo, Lake Tanganyika waters have risen so high that the town is flooded. People have been forced to move from their homes, and fields and houses have been destroyed. An estimated 180,000 people have been affected, and over 142,000 people have been displaced. 4,500 homes, 53 schools, and over 124 hectares of farmland were destroyed. Photo: WFP/Benjamin Anguandia
