The only humanitarian organization currently present is the Red Cross. It is not possible to give an assessment as body searches are continuing,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>Last month, flooding in the capital, Kinshasa, killed 33 people.<\/p>\n<p>Decades of fighting between government troops and rebels in eastern Congo escalated in February, worsening what is already one of the world&#8217;s largest humanitarian crises.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\"
