Weeks of heavy rains and flooding have ​now killed 108 people ‌in Kenya, the National Police Service said on Saturday ​in an updated ​death toll
Flash floods, which began ⁠on the evening ​of March 6, have caused ​widespread destruction in the East African nation, sweeping away dozens ​of vehicles, disrupting ​air travel, and damaging power infrastructure.
Over ‌2 700 ⁠families have been displaced across the country, authorities said on Friday. While the ​intensity ​of ⁠rainfall has eased in some areas, police ​cautioned that the ​risk ⁠of flooding persists due to overflowing drainage systems ⁠and ​waterlogged ground.
