CNN —Flooding in Tanzania has killed 155 people and left at least 236 injured, the country’s Prime Minister Kassim Majaliwa said on Thursday. More than 10,000 houses have been damaged and upwards of 200,000 people have been affected, Majaliwa told the Tanzanian parliament in the capital Dodoma. The flooding has also affected Kenya, which shares a border with Tanzania in East Africa. Kenya has registered heavy rain since mid-March but downpours have intensified over the past week, leading to mass flooding that has affected around 103,500 people. Kenya Railways also suspended commuter train services nationwide.

"We had a big crash and I immediately started seeing water enter the plane. Passengers started to struggle to rescue themselves," Samuel said, describing the moments after the Precision Air flight to Bukoba plunged into the lake in northern Tanzania. In the hours and days after the accident, reports of survival and dramatic rescue efforts have started to emerge. Jackson dived into the water and managed to communicate with the pilots by signalling through the window, he told the BBC. By the time rescue workers reached the pilots, their air supply had run out and the pair were dead, authorities said.

A Tanzanian passenger plane crashed into Lake Victoria on Sunday, killing 19 people on board. Majaliwa Jackson, the fisherman, was among the first people at the site of the Precision Air plane crash in Tanzania's Lake Victoria on Sunday. "He directed me to break the window screen," Jackson told the BBC. "He pointed out the cockpit emergency door to me," Jackson told the BBC. The plane took off from Tanzania's commercial capital of Dar es Salaam on Sunday morning and was supposed to land in Bukoba when it instead plunged into Lake Victoria, Africa's largest freshwater lake.
