Since the end of 2023, the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) has been experiencing the worst flooding in over 60 years. The heavy rains led to an extraordinary rise in the water level of the Congo River and caused a devastating natural disaster in the interior of the country.
Follow the official reports and the media. After flooding, there is an increased risk of mosquito-borne diseases and gastrointestinal illnesses. Appropriate precautions regarding mosquito repellent (24/7) and drinking water are very important.
