Floods have put 350 thousand people in need of emergency aid in Congo
The United Nations said the worst flood in 60 years has caused more than 350,000 people to seek emergency aid, where many villages can only be reached by boat.
The United Nations Relief and Works Agency said that the heavy rains that have been pouring since October have caused the Congo River to swell, causing floods.
This incident has caused about 27 thousand children to stop going to school in the areas affected by the flood.
In the capital city of Kinshasha, which has a population of about 15 million people, the areas with public houses and historical places are still in turmoil.
The United Nations said that contributions from the world are needed to implement the 26 million dollar budget it has made to help with food, health and clean drinking water.
