The number of people killed by flash floods and landslides earlier this month has risen to 135, an official source confirmed Sunday.
The Ministry in charge of Emergency Management reported that up to 110 people were injured by the disasters that hit Western, Northern and Southern provinces.
Thirteen people are still in hospital and one is still missing, the ministry said.
Reports indicate that up to 5,963 houses were destroyed, leaving 20,326 people homeless.
The Ministry of Emergency Management said the displaced people are being hosted at 83 temporary accommodation sites.
So far 426 tonnes of food support were distributed as the Government continues to work with its stakeholders to assist the disaster-affected households.
Households living in risky areas were encouraged to relocate. Weather forecasts say heavy rains will continue throughout May.
The government says Rwf13 billion (13 million USD) is needed to resettle 19,000 families from risky areas across the country.
The disasters affected 20 national roads, 15 of which have been repaired, while 12 power stations and eight water treatment plants have all been repaired.
