Rain-triggered disasters are adding pain to vulnerable Rwandan families already struggling to cope under the Coovid-19lockdown, with many displaced by floods. The flooding has taken a toll on homes, infrastructure and farms.
Regular disaster reports by the Ministry of Emergency Management show that the toll of successive adverse rains since late March could be as much of a concern as the coronavirus itself, having claimed more than 47 lives, and 76 injuries between April 1 and 26.
