Heavy downpour that intensified countrywide on Sunday
through Monday morning has so far led to loss of more lives
through mudslides, especially in the districts of Rulindo,
Karongi, Nyarugenge and Rubavu.
According to the Ministry of Disaster Management and
Refugees Affairs, (MIDIMAR) a tentative report of the weekend
rains. Karongi District was worst hit, with18 people killed, 12
hospitalised and 120 houses totally destroyed.
The rains caused a mudslide that submerged houses in which
people were sleeping, a tragedy that occurred in the cells of
Bisesero, Rubazo and Gasata all in Rwankuba Sector.
According to Jean Baptiste Nsengiyumva, the Director of Risk
Reduction and Preparedness Unit at MIDIMAR, they are
working closely with local authorities to have more up to date
information on the countrywide disasters.
"We expect numbers to go up because we're still collecting
more information from across the country," said
Nsengiyumva.
Speaking to The New Times, Védaste Kuzabaganwa, the
Executive Secretary Rwankuba Sector said they had been
appealing to residents to relocate from the risky zones and
that it was unfortunate that some were killed before they
could relocate.
"Many families have moved to settle in model villages but
some are still in their houses below the hills in areas which
are very prone to landslides," Kuzabaganwa said.
Meanwhile in Nyabugogo Cell, Kigali Sector of Nyarugenge
District, a family of eight was swept away by a mudslide.
Three instantly died on the spot while the rest are still in
hospital.
In Rubavu and Rulindo districts, four people were reported
dead and four houses totally destroyed by landslides while in
Nyamasheke District, one person was killed.
In Nyabihu District two houses were destroyed while in
Nyamagabe District one person was injured and two housed
damaged.
Recently, the Minister of Local Government announced they
were determined to relocate people from high risk areas
saying that where necessary, force would be used to move
them to safety.
The latest death toll brings it to over 200 people killed in
disasters since the rains started January this year.
