"What I have seen is really heartbreaking," he said, describing homes, infrastructure, roads, schools, hospitals submerged by water. "Many people - over 200,000 to 300,000 - are displaced and overcrowded in various IDP camps and on the streets."
The state government attributed the disaster to the dam reaching full capacity due to unusually heavy rainfall, which led to massive flooding and devastation.
Bigenimana noted that the WFP had set up soup kitchens to provide hot meals to those affected and was expanding its response in coordination with authorities.
The soup kitchens located in three camps aim to provide nutritious hot meals to 50,000 people who have lost their homes but more assistance is needed.
