DR Congo floods: 'Water carry my 13 children go' - BBC News Pidgin

The recent flooding in the DR Congo has left many families devastated, with some even losing their loved ones. The situation is dire, as many are left homeless and without access to basic needs. One heartbreaking story is that of a mother of thirteen, who lost all her children to the flood. In an interview with BBC News Pidgin, she narrated how the flood waters carried her children away. She expressed her anguish, saying, “Water carry my 13 children go, I no know how to take start again.”

The flooding has affected over 100,000 people in the DR Congo, with many trying to seek refuge in makeshift shelters. The government has set up emergency centers and is providing aid, but the situation remains bleak. The country has been experiencing heavy rainfall recently, leading to this catastrophic flooding.

It is truly heart-wrenching to hear stories like this mother’s, and it highlights the urgent need to address the issues of climate change and environmental degradation. This is not just a problem isolated to the DR Congo, but to the entire world. We must take action to prevent such devastating natural disasters, and help those affected by them.
