    Severe flooding kills 66 in Kenya, as heavy rains continue

    A further four people have died in Kenya after heavy rain caused widespread flooding, police said, taking the number of people who have died in the past week to at least 66.

    The capital, Nairobi, was hit by more heavy rain overnight, although no new deaths were reported.

    Eleven people were rescued after a minibus taxi, known locally as a matatu, got stuck as water rose in Nairobi, according to the Kenya Red Cross. At the same time, two children were saved from a flooded house.

    Heavy rainfall over the past week has triggered flash floods as rivers have burst their banks, flooding homes and damaging roads, power, and water lines.

    Some roads have been closed after bridges were damaged in Nairobi, while some schools were also flooded after Saturday’s downpour.

    The interior ministry warned on Sunday that different parts of the country were continuing to experience heavy rains, increasing the risk of flooding.
