Heavy rains in Kenya have caused floods and landslides that have left 194 dead and destroyed crops since the deluge began last month, complicating the fight against the coronavirus. The flooding comes after similarly deadly rainfall at the end of 2019, and brings with it a second wave of locusts with massive swarms forming in the country and elsewhere in East Africa. So far, 194 people have been killed by floods and related hazards, and crops running into 8,000 acres (3,240 hectares) have also been swept away.
