At least 50 people in the northern Hanang region died after disaster struck over the weekend, the leader's spokesperson said.

Zuhura Yunus said President Samia will return to Tanzania "as soon as possible" to deal with the situation.

Around 5,600 people have been affected, Ms Yunus said, citing local reports.

Homes and infrastructure were damaged by the heavy rains, which have also had an impact on farmland directly threatening the people's livelihoods.」
