Kenyan police say at least 40 people have died after a dam collapsed in the west of the country. A wall of water from the Old Kijabe Dam - located in the Mai Mahiu area of the Great Rift Valley region - swept away homes and vehicles, police official Stephen Kirui told the Associated Press news agency.
The ongoing floods have also postponed primary and secondary schools from reopening for a new term. 'The devastating effects of the rains in some of the schools is so severe that it will be imprudent to risk the lives of learners and staff before watertight measures are put in place to ensure adequate safety of all affected school communities,' the education ministry said in a statement.
