Satellite images from @Planet, dated 7 May 2023, showing the devastation from channelised debris flows in DR Congo. In several places the landslides have completely destroyed large communities. Once more we see extreme rainfall triggering multiple lethal landslides #DRcongo

Creeping just a finger-width to a few feet per year, slow-moving landslides occur naturally throughout the world. One of these large, slow-moving landslides is accelerating in eastern Congo, putting a community at risk. earthobservatory.nasa.gov/images/150922/…
