 Now, recent flooding from the rising water of Lake Tangyaika at the Port of Bujumbura in Burundi has affected 8,000 families, with around 2,000 people displaced in lakeside communities. The details come from an April 25 report by the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, and it appears that the number of people affected could most probably rise as flooded houses continue to collapse. The lakes' levels have been slowly rising since February 2021, and stood at 776.45 meters above sea level as of the 19th of April, as on that night, torrential rains caused the banks of the Ruzizi River to overflow.
