Nairobi, Kenya floods: Dozens killed after dam bursts near Mai Mahiu as weeks of heavy rain devastate region
At least 35 people have been killed and dozens of others are missing after a dam burst in southern Kenya, sweeping away homes and vehicles as the country grapples with weeks of heavy rains and devastating flash floods. A CNN team on the ground in Kenya’s Rift Valley town Mai Mahiu has seen overturned vehicles, uprooted trees and homes which had been swept away in mass flooding. CNN witnessed damage to one of the most affected areas from flooding in Kenya’s north-western Nakuru county, which spanned several kilometers in every direction. A distraught man told CNN that he feared several of his family members were still buried under the mud and debris.
