The death toll from flooding that hit two villages in east Democratic Republic of Congo last week has risen to 401, provincial governor Theo Ngwabidje Kasi said on Monday, APA reports citing Reuters.

Torrential rain in Kalehe territory in South Kivu province caused rivers to overflow on Thursday, inundating the villages of Bushushu and Nyamukubi

At least 176 people were reported dead on Friday and many more missing as humanitarian workers recovered scores of bodies.

The central government has sent a delegation to Kalehe and declared Monday a day of national mourning.
