Workers in Tanzania clear mud and debris after torrential downpours washed away vehicles and brought down buildings in the hillside town of Katesh, 300 kilometres (185 miles) north of the capital Dodoma. 

The death toll from landslides and flooding triggered by heavy rainfall in northern Tanzania climbed to 68, a regional official said. Search and rescue operations were underway with the help of the military as people were feared buried in thick mud.
