According to the Western Province Governor, Alphonse Munyentwali, no lives have been claimed but the floods injured three people and one was referred to Ruhengeri Hospital.
“No death has been reported but two people sustained minor injuries and one sustained leg fracture,” said Governor Alphonse.
“Properties damaged include 26 houses and Ecole d’Art de Nyundo with over 356 toilets destroyed and five bridges were damaged,” he added.
He said that affected families will receive support including home materials this Monday as agreed between the province leadership, Rwanda Red Cross and the Ministry of Disaster Management and Refugee Affairs (MIDIMAR).
Munyentwali said that they will conduct a study to identify whether no families living close to Sebeya River could be affected by floods.
Currently, affected families are sheltered by their neighbors.
