At least 55 people died in DR Congo's capital Kinshasa on Tuesday in floods triggered by torrential rain, city police chief General Sylvano Kasongo said in a statement, giving a provisional toll. 

Flooding also inflicted major property damage, submerging the main streets in the city centre for several hours.
