At least 62 people have lost their lives in Kenya this week due to extensive flooding caused by heavy rainfall, according to local authorities. Authorities have rescued 11 people from a bus trapped by floods in Nairobi, while two children were rescued from a flooded home. The rainfall caused rivers, homes, roads, and infrastructure networks to flood. The Ministry of Interior has issued a warning of continued heavy rainfall and urged residents in high-risk areas to move to safer locations. More than 2,000 people have been forced to leave their homes. Similar flooding has also hit Ethiopia, where more than 100 people have died.
