Hundreds of residents from five villages in Bweramule sub-county, Ntoroko District, near the Uganda-DR Congo border, have been displaced by floods from River Semliki.
The flooding that started on Friday, has forced people to sleep on raised roadsides and has affected cattle, leaving them without grazing land.
Heavy rains in the Bundibugyo area caused River Semliki to burst its banks, unleashing torrents that have created a humanitarian crisis.
Local residents and leaders report significant impacts, including stranded livestock, destroyed homes, and the potential for disease outbreaks.
