The death toll after heavy flooding in the Democratic Republic of Congo’s (DRC) capital Kinshasa this week has risen to 169, the United Nations’ humanitarian office (OCHA) said on Friday, citing authorities.

Homes are submerged in water after a massive flood.

Heavy downpour caused floods and landslides from Monday night through early Tuesday, leveling at least 280 houses in Kinshasa’s Mont-Ngafula district and a large stretch of Congo’s main national highway, according to UN estimates. “Today marks the end of three day of national mourning in memory of those deceased,” the statement said. “The Government has confirmed that it will organize a dignified and secure burial of those who have lost their lives.”
