At least 109 people are dead in western Rwanda after heavy rain caused massive flooding in the region early Wednesday morning, according to authorities.
Flooding and landslides triggered by heavy rain have killed at least 129 people in Rwanda and six in Uganda, authorities said on Wednesday, as rescuers hunted survivors trapped in homes.
Many areas across East Africa have in recent years experienced both severe droughts and heavy rainfalls that killed many and damaged property and crops.
