| Comments: | On the 29th of March 2015, in the afternoon, heavy rains caused floods and landslides in Muhuta, a commune of Bujumbura Rural Province, in Western Burundi. The most affected collines are Nyaruhongoka and Rutunga (in Muhuta commune) which are located on the edge of the lake Tanganyika.
The affected population are mainly farmers, fishermen and business men around the national road number 5, between Bujumbura and Rumonge. They belong to very poor villages from one of the most vulnerable area of the cholera belt.
According to the first rapid assessment carried out by the Burundi Red Cross volunteers, this event resulted in the destruction of 349 houses, 2 churches, 1 health center, 2 schools (1 primary and 1 secondary). Two bridges were also destroyed together with 5 Km of the national road number 5, between Bujumbura and Rumonge (in the south of Burundi).
