In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where more than 400 deaths have been found after floods and landslides in the east of the country, a day of national mourning has been declared.
Two villages in the Kalehe district were covered in mud, and many people are still missing and thought to remain there.
Bodies were discovered in the neighboring Lake Kivu.
Four days after the flooding and landslides occurred, the government delegation from Kinshasa, the country's capital, was dispatched to the region.
The victims' interment in mass graves has drawn criticism from Congolese physician and Nobel Peace Prize laureate Denis Mukwege. He has demanded more respectable funeral rites.
