70 killed in Kenya flood 'emergency': Ruto

CGTN

Seventy people were killed in widespread flooding in Kenya that has also driven tens of thousands of people from their homes, President William Ruto said on Saturday, describing it as an "emergency situation." 

Kenya and neighboring Somalia and Ethiopia, countries that are only just emerging from the worst drought in four decades, are now experiencing devastating flooding caused by rains linked to the El Nino weather pattern. 

Ruto said the cabinet would hold an emergency meeting on Monday to discuss recommendations on how to manage the crisis.
