Flooding in Ivory Coast has killed at least 59 people so far this year, according to a government spokesperson cited by multiple outlets. The reports state that the death toll is current as of Wednesday, while also indicating that the figures may be subject to change as authorities assess the impact of the floods. The information presented across the sources attributes the casualty count directly to an official government statement, rather than to independent estimates. No additional details about the number of injured, the specific regions affected, or the causes of the flooding are included in the provided excerpts. The coverage is consistent in describing the same overall toll and timeframe—at least 59 deaths since the beginning of the year—and in emphasizing that the figure comes from official remarks. The reports therefore align on the headline number while leaving broader context and breakdowns to other reporting not included here.
