Inside the house were Claudine Maniriho and her four children as his husband was still out fending for the family.
The flood waters from the hills around River Sebeya caused the catastrophe. Speaking to IGIHE, the Executive Secretary of Kanama Sector, Annonciata Tuyisenge confirmed the tragedy.
“The mudslides hit one side of the house and a wall collapsed on four children and their mother who had been cooking. Two died and others are hospitalized,” she said.
Rubavu District is one of the districts mostly affected with extreme climatic vagaries, claiming lives, damaging crops and destroying infrastructures. Last month floods completely destroyed 26 houses and left over 900 partially destroyed.
