Cuban Government sends condolences for victims of rains in Congo

Havana, Dec 16 (RHC) Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez on Thursday sent condolences to the people and government of the Democratic Republic of Congo for the deaths and damages caused by heavy rains.

On the social network Twitter, the Cuban Foreign Minister extended his condolences to the families and relatives of the victims caused by the rains in Kinshasa, the capital of the country.

At least 141 people lost their lives and thousands of houses are flooded due to the inability of that nation’s sewage system to evacuate the torrents created by the rains.

The United Nations assured that these are the worst floods affecting the country since 2019, destroying homes, farmland, schools, and other public infrastructure.

From Washington, Felix Tshisekedi, president of the Democratic Republic of Congo, who is attending the U.S.-Africa Leaders Summit, decreed three days of mourning to honor the victims, a number that could increase. (Source: ACN).
