Rwandan authorities are working out where to resettle thousands of people affected by torrential rains and landslides.
More than 100 people died in early May and many more remain displaced after the highest rainfall in 17 years.
In the long term, authorities hope to relocate tens of thousands away from landslide-prone areas, but that is proving challenging and presently the government is focused on housing those still in the danger zones.
