Drone footage captures aftermath of deadly Kenyan flood
At least 42 people have been killed in floods in central Kenya's Mai Mahiu area after a dam burst early on Monday, police said, adding that the number of deaths could rise.
Earlier on Monday, the Kenya Red Cross said it had taken several people to a health facility in Mai Mahiu after the flash flooding. The latest deaths bring the toll from heavy rains and flooding within the last month to more than 140.
Excluding the Mai Mahiu incident, government figures show 103 people had been killed, and more than 185,000 displaced as of Monday (April 29, 2024). Dozens more have been killed, and hundreds of thousands displaced by intense downpours in other East African countries, including Tanzania and Burundi.
The floods have caused widespread damage to infrastructure such as roads and bridges. The region was hit by record floods during the last rainy season in late 2023.
