Tanzania is coping with the aftermath of severe floods and landslides, which killed dozens of people in the northern Hanang region.

Shem Otieno, a BBC reporter in Nairobi, explains how rescue workers and the Tanzanian government are responding. We also hear from hydrology expert Wouter Buytaert, who explains how droughts can make landslides more likely. Three survivors also recount their experiences.
