Parts of Kenya hit by torrential rain and deadly floods

In Kenya’s southern town of Mai Mahiu, a dam burst its banks, killing at least 42 people, authorities said. There has been heavy rain across east Africa driven by El Niño, a naturally occurring climate pattern usually associated with increased heat worldwide. Kenya’s government has said almost 200,000 people have been displaced and at least 100 people have been killed since March. Neighbouring Tanzania has also been affected
