A Tanzanian minister says the number of people killed following Saturday’s earthquake that also shook the southern part of Uganda has risen to 17.




George Simbachawene, the minister of state in the office of the president, told Tanzania’s National Assembly this Tuesday morning that the 5.7-magnitude earthquake left 252 people injured and 840 families homeless.

According to AFP reports, Simbachawene says over 1,200 houses need repair, and the government has closed two secondary schools that were heavily damaged by Saturday’s quake.

President John Magufuli cancelled a planned three-day state visit to Zambia to deal with the aftermath.

The quake was also felt in western Kenya and tremors were felt in Rwanda’s capital, Kigali.
