Recent floods have left so far 203 people dead in the east of the Democratic Republic of Congo, an administrative official said Saturday, as the authorities recover more bodies from the impacted areas.
 
"Here in Bushushu, 203 bodies have already been removed from the rubble," said Thomas Bakenga, administrator of Kalehe territory, adding that it is yet not possible to estimate the overall damages and the total number of causalities.

Rivers flooded the Bushushu and Nyamukubi villages of the Kalehe region of South Kivu province on Thursday after the area witnessed heavy rain. Bakenga also noted that the Thursday weekly market in Nyamukubi was hit by a landslide caused by the floods, adding that several villages fully went underwater, and many houses and farming fields were destroyed.

Congolese doctor Denis Mukwege, a Nobel Peace Prize Winner who has a clinic in the Republic's capital Bukavu said on Saturday that he dispatched a team of surgeons, anesthetists, and technicians to the devastated region to "provide the population with emergency medical aid".
