At least 20 dead in landslides in southern Tanzania

At least 20 people have died in landslides in southern Tanzania, according to authorities.

The landslide was caused by heavy rain and strong winds. With more rain expected in the coming days, local authorities fear the death toll could rise further. They are therefore urging residents in the landslide-risk zone to evacuate.

Eastern Africa has been hit hard by heavy rains recently, with at least 81 people killed in flooding in Tanzania's neighboring country, Kenya.
