With a continuing emergency response to the heavy rains in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), the official toll has reached 443 dead, UN humanitarians said on Tuesday.

联合国人道主义者周二表示，随着刚果民主共和国(DRC)持续对暴雨的紧急应对，官方死亡人数已达到443人。

The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said that hundreds of people were injured and many are missing from the early May rains that triggered deadly flooding and landslides. Rescuers and responders urgently call for heavy equipment to excavate and bury bodies, mainly in the Kalehe territory of eastern South Kivu province.

联合国人道主义事务协调办公室(OCHA)表示，自五月初引发致命洪水和山体滑坡的暴雨以来，已造成数百人受伤，许多人失踪。救援人员和应急人员紧急呼吁重型设备挖掘和掩埋尸体，主要集中在南基伍省东部的卡莱赫地区。

Other top priorities are shelter and relocation of survivors, food assistance and fixing roads and bridges so we can reach people affected, OCHA said.

OCHA表示:“其他首要任务是为幸存者提供住所和重新安置，提供食品援助，修复道路和桥梁，以便我们能够到达受灾地区。”

More than 3,000 houses and schools serving more than 9,000 children were damaged, the humanitarian office said.

另外，3000多所房屋和学校受损，影响了超过9000名儿童。

At least 17,000 people received assistance since May 10, including food, health care, shelter and psychosocial support, OCHA said. Humanitarians provided more than 50,000 liters of clean water daily to affected communities.

OCHA表示，自5月10日以来，至少有1.7万人获得了援助，包括食品、医疗、住所和社会心理支持。联合国人道主义机构向受灾社区每天提供超过5万升的清洁水。

The UN humanitarian coordinator in the DRC, Bruno Lemarquis, allocated 3 million U.S. dollars from the Humanitarian Fund to strengthen continuing operations, the humanitarian office said.

该办公室表示，联合国驻刚果民主共和国人道主义协调员布鲁诺·勒马奎斯从人道主义基金中拨款300万美元，以加强持续的救援行动。
