Kinshhasa: Officials said in a statement that at least 22 people have died due to severe floods in the congregation capital Kinshasa and it has become difficult to reach more than half of the city and the main airport of the country. Provincial Health Minister Patrinian Nango said that most of the deaths in Friday floods occurred due to falling walls. Kinshasa Governor Daniel Bumba said that the main road leading to the airport has been damaged by floods. However, this road has been reopened to traffic of light vehicles. He said that this road will be opened for movement of all types of vehicles within 72 hours. This road connects Kinshasa to the remaining part of the Congo.
Officials are concerned about the impact on business. Truck driver Blaze Nadendo said, “We are here since last night but we are not moving forward because we have been told that the road has been broken into two parts.”
