Many reported dead in Rwanda and Uganda, as heavy rain also devastates western regions of continent
May is the end of the rainy season for many parts of east Africa. However, this does not mean the devastation has ended.
Last week heavy rainfall, which started in the late afternoon on 2 May, led to flash flooding in parts of Rwanda and Uganda. These heavy downpours continued through to 4 May, with further wet weather following later in the week.
