Congo: Floods - Nov 2025
Disaster description
Exceptionally heavy rainfall triggered flash floods and severe flooding in the departments of Brazzaville and PointeNoire, causing significant human and material damage: around 50,000 people affected, 22,842 evacuated and 55 injured, according to the Congolese Red Cross. Thousands of homes were partially or completely destroyed, several road links were damaged, and thousands of families have been left without shelter or means of subsistence. Most affected families are being hosted by neighbours; others, having lost everything, have taken refuge with relatives in other neighbourhoods and are living in precarious conditions.
