Photograph: Patrick Ngugi/APTorrential rains that caused widespread flooding and landslides across Kenya in recent weeks, killing at least 210 people, are forecast to worsen over the rest of this month, president William Ruto said on Friday.
“Sadly we have not seen the last of this perilous period as the situation is expected to escalate. Meteorological reports paint a dire picture,” Mr Ruto said on Kenyan television. “Kenya may face its first-ever cyclone.” Earlier this week Mr Ruto ordered those living in landslide-prone areas to leave for safer ground. The government has asked people living near 178 dams and water reservoirs, now close to overflowing, as well as those in informal settlements close to rivers and streams, to evacuate.
