The Rwanda National Police has called upon families living in areas demarcated as ‘high risk zones’ to relocate to the new sites allocated by districts to avoid likely loss of lives.The call follows a heavy downpour on Tuesday evening, especially in the City of Kigali, which killed four people and left five others seriously injured.The injured are hospitalised at the University Teaching Hospital of Kigali (CHUK).The torrential rains also destroyed ten houses in Kigali and public infrastructure in different parts of the city.According to a police report, most of the affected families are living in disaster-prone areas.“Most of the families affected live in demarcated high risk zones. We urge all families living in these risky areas to relocate to other sites allocated by districts,” Police Spokesperson, ACP Damas Gatare, said.Gatare reassured the public that the police in partnership with other stakeholders, has laid short and long term intervention strategies to help address such challenges.
