At least 13 dead after floods in Congo

11 DEC 2012, 6:16 AM - SOURCE: AAP

At least 13 people have died in the Republic of Congo and two dozen others were injured after torrential rains in southern Brazzaville.

A Red Cross official said 13 bodies had been recovered over the weekend, while Laurel Kihounzou, mayor of the southern Brazzaville district of Makelekele, told reporters that at least 26 people were injured.

According to witnesses, dozens of houses collapsed after a river in the Makelekele neighbourhood burst its banks.

Police confirmed the death toll, adding that they had provided shelter to nearly 600 residents affected by the flooding.
