Laanqayrta Kongo ayaa sheegtay tirooyin horudhac ah, halka Wasaaradda Arrimaha Bulshadda ay 9 Oktoobar 2026 qabanqaabisay kulan isku-dubarid gargaar
Roobab culus oo dhacay 9 iyo 10 Oktoobar 2026 ayaa daad ku sababay degmado ku yaal Likouala Department ee Jamhuuriyadda Kongo, iyadoo Laanqayrta Kongo ay horudhac ahaan sheegtay in daadku saameeyay 28,135 qof afar degmo gudahood.
Roobabka iyo degmada ay saameeyeen
Roobabku waxay sii socdeen 10 Oktoobar 2026, gaar ahaan intii u dhaxaysay saqda dhexe iyo duhurnimada, degmada Impfondo iyo nawaaxigeeda, taasoo sii xumeysay daadka iyo waxyeellada xaafado iyo tuulooyin dhowr ah. Daadku wuxuu saameeyay afar degmo oo Likouala ka tirsan: Épéna, Impfondo, Bétou iyo Dongou. Sida laga soo xigtay xogta horudhac ah ee ay soo sheegtay Laanqayrta Kongo, daadku wuxuu saameeyay 28,135 qof oo ku nool afar degmada, oo ay ku jiraan 17,980 qof oo ku nool Épéna iyo Impfondo oo la isku daray.
Waxyeellada ka dhalatay daadka
Waxyeellada la soo sheegay waxaa ka mid ah burburka ama waxyeellada guryaha, waxyeellada waddooyinka, luminta dalagga iyo kaydka cuntada, iyo burburka qalabka kalluumaysiga. Qoysas dhowr ah ayaa ku qasban inay ka baxaan guryahooda oo ay magangalyo ku meel gaar ah ka raadsadaan qaraabada ama deriska. Daadku wuxuu sidoo kale carqaladeeyay hab-nololeedka dadka ay saameeyay, wuxuuna kiciyay walaac ku saabsan helista biyo nadiif ah oo la cabbo iyo khataraha caafimaad ee la xiriira wasakheynta biyaha.
Jawaabta hay'adaha iyo xogta horudhaca ah
Wasaaradda Arrimaha Bulshadda iyo Ficilka Bani'aadamnimo (MASAH) ayaa 9 Oktoobar 2026 qabanqaabisay kulan isku-dubarid bani'aadamnimo si loo eego saameynta daadka loona diyaariyo hawlgal qiimeyn degdeg ah oo qaybo badan leh. Mas'uuliyiinta ayaa ka codsaday taageero la-hawlgalayaasha bani'aadamnimo inay ka qayb qaataan jawaabta. Xogta hadda la heli karo wali waa horudhac, waxayna u baahan tahay in lagu cusboonaysiiyo oo lagu xaqiijiyo qiimeynta qaybaha kala duwan si loo caddeeyo baaxadda baahiyaha, loo aqoonsado qoysaska ugu nugul, loona hagaajiyo bartilmaameedka faragelinta haddii loo baahdo.
Congolese Red Cross preliminary figures put 17,980 affected in Épéna and Impfondo combined, as authorities plan a joint rapid multisectoral assessment.
Heavy rainfall between 9 and 10 October 2026 caused flooding in several localities of the Likouala Department in the Republic of the Congo, affecting four districts, according to preliminary data reported by the Congolese Red Cross.
Rainfall and districts affected
Rainfall continued on 10 October, particularly between midnight and noon in the district of Impfondo and its surrounding areas, worsening flooding and damage in several neighbourhoods and villages. The event affected four districts in Likouala: Épéna, Impfondo, Bétou and Dongou. In Épéna, most villages in the initial information were reportedly affected, while in Impfondo several neighbourhoods and villages were hit by heavy rainfall and overflowing water.
Preliminary toll and reported damage
According to preliminary data reported by the Congolese Red Cross, the floods affected a total of 28,135 people across the four districts, including 17,980 people in Épéna and Impfondo combined. Reported consequences include destruction of or damage to houses, damage to roads, losses of crops and food stocks, and destruction of fishing equipment. Several families left their homes for temporary shelter with relatives or neighbours, and the floods disrupted livelihoods and raised concerns over safe drinking water and health risks from contamination.
Coordination and verification of figures
The Ministry of Social Affairs and Humanitarian Action (MASAH) convened a humanitarian coordination meeting on 9 October 2026 to review the impact of the floods and prepare a joint rapid multisectoral assessment mission. The authorities requested support from humanitarian partners to contribute to the response. The available data remain preliminary and require updating and validation through the multisectoral assessment to confirm the extent of needs, identify the most vulnerable households and adjust intervention targeting if necessary.
