Floods Wreak Havoc in Kenya
Raging floods in Kenya as a result of heavy rains pounding most parts of the country have left a trail of destruction death and displacement in their wake.
The Kenyan government and aid agencies are currently grappling with the challenge of providing relief support for thousands of families displaced by the floods which are not showing any signs of easing.
Over 200 people have been confirmed killed by the raging floods with Nyanza, Rift Valley, Central and North Eastern emerging as the most affected provinces.
Several major roads have been closed or rendered impassable due to collapsing bridges and the general wear caused by the floods.
The Kenya Meteorological Department predicted last week that the heavy rains would continue for the next two to three weeks and called on families in flood prone areas to move to higher grounds.
