Tanzania Floods: Heavy rains persist in Tanzania, more than 100,000 affected | Oneindia
In the past two weeks, devastating floods have claimed the lives of 58 people in Tanzania, prompting urgent action from the East African nation.
With heavy rains persisting, the government revealed the tragic death toll on Sunday, highlighting the severity of the situation.
The ongoing rainy season, typical for April, has been intensified by the El Nino phenomenon, exacerbating the challenges of droughts and floods not only in Tanzania but across the globe.
In response to this crisis, Tanzania is now looking to major infrastructure projects for solutions to mitigate future disasters and safeguard its population.
Kenya faces a severe flooding crisis with 70 fatalities since mid-March, prompting a USD 29 million relief allocation. Over 130,000 people were displaced, and 64 Nairobi schools shut down. Rescue efforts continue after a tragic incident in Makueni, while a heavy rainfall warning urges caution. The regional impact extends to Tanzania and Burundi, demanding immediate action and vigilance.

Intense rainfall over several weeks in Tanzania has triggered devastating flooding and landslides, claiming the lives of 155 individuals and leaving 236 others injured, according to the country's Prime Minister, Kassim Majaliwa. Addressing Parliament, Majaliwa attributed the severity of the ongoing rainy season to the exacerbation of the El Niño climate phenomenon. The relentless downpours have not only caused widespread flooding but also inflicted extensive damage to infrastructure, including roads, bridges, and railways, exacerbating the challenges faced by affected communities across East Africa.

The U.K. government will now be able to
redirect asylum seekers to Rwanda, where their claims will be weighed by the East African country.
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak celebrated
the bill's passage on April 23. .
We introduced the Rwanda Bill to
deter vulnerable migrants from
making perilous crossings and
break the business model of the
criminal gangs who exploit them. , Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, via statement.
The passing of this legislation will
allow us to do that and make it very
clear that if you come here illegally,
you will not be able to stay, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, via statement.
The U.N. and human rights activists
have condemned the bill. .
Filippo Grandi, the U.N. High Commissioner
for Refugees, said.
“Protecting refugees requires
all countries – not just those neighboring
crisis zones – to uphold their obligations.”.
This arrangement seeks to shift responsibility
for refugee protection, undermining
international cooperation and setting
a worrying global precedent, Filippo Grandi, the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees, via statement .
Amnesty International U.K. referred to the legislation
as "a stain on this country’s moral reputation" , which "takes a hatchet to international legal protections for some of the most vulnerable people in the world.".

"face legal challenges in the European
Court of Human Rights," CNN reports.
