DRC: Torrential Rain Submerges Roads in Kinshasa

Kinshasa was hit by severe flooding on Tuesday, November 18. Torrential rain turned several neighborhoods into urban rivers. The French Institute’s Halle de la Gombe was flooded, forcing its closure on November 19 to assess damage. The Palais du Peuple and major roads, including Boulevard du 30 Juin and Boulevard Sendwe, were also submerged, paralyzing traffic.
