Severe flooding in Kenya after two rivers overflowed their banks

Two rivers have overflowed their banks in Kenya, flooding farms and displacing families as the death toll from the natural disaster this month rose to 88 according to the Kenyan government.

The latest flooding occurred in western Kenya, where the Nyando River overflowed on Monday, submerging sections of the Ahero Bridge along the Kericho–Awasi–Kisumu road and disrupting transport in the region.

The number of people displaced from their homes in flooding that started earlier in March is now more than 34,000
