Several thousand were affected by the floods of Thursday, May 4 in Kalehe territory in eastern DRC. According to Ocha, the UN Joint Office for Humanitarian Affairs in the DRC, about 3,000 homes have been destroyed.

Some survivors have remained in the affected villages and are staying with host families. Others have left for the surrounding areas. The authorities are drawing up relocation plans, but for now, the survivors have nowhere else to go, says RFI's Coralie Pierret.
