ClimateWatch: Africa among the hardest hit by climate change 05:34

Hundreds of people in Tanzania and Kenya are dead after heavy rain during the region’s monsoon season, officials said. 

Flooding in Tanzania caused by weeks of heavy rain has killed 155 people and affected more than 200,000 others, the prime minister said Thursday.

That is more than double the number of deaths reported two weeks ago as the amount of rainfall increases, especially in the coastal region and the capital, Dar es Salaam. Flooded schools have been closed and emergency services have rescued people marooned by the flood waters. Roads, bridges, railways and other infrastructure have also been destroyed, officials said.
