WATCH: This video recorded on Wednesday, July 2, 2025, shows how rain disrupted P2 lessons at Matu Primary School in Yumbe District. The class is conducted in a temporary structure with a leaking roof and when it rains, water accumulates inside the classroom, making it nearly impossible for lessons to continue. #MonitorUpdates
