"Seventeen districts in Rufiji and Kibiti (east) have been affected. We have six temporary accommodation camps with 2,883 people," Tanzanian government spokesman Mobhare Matinyi told Spanish news agency EFE.
In the country, the floods have affected more than 125,600 people and destroyed many crops.
Tanzanian authorities had already announced on the 14th the death of at least 58 people this month.
Tanzanian police spokesman David Msime told EFE that the increase in the death toll occurred at the end of last week.
In addition, the floods have spread to new regions in the north and northwest of the country, including Mwanza, Simiyu and Arusha.
Since last October, heavy rains in East Africa have caused hundreds of deaths in neighboring countries Kenya, Somalia and Ethiopia, according to the UN and the governments of those countries.
Last December, at least 88 people died due to flooding and landslides caused by El Niño in northern Tanzania, the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) reported at the time.
El Niño is a change in atmospheric dynamics caused by an increase in the temperature of the Pacific Ocean.
