The number of people killed in floods in Kenya since the start of the rainy season in March has risen to 70, a government spokesperson said on Friday. 

"The official tally of fellow Kenyans who regrettably have lost their lives due to the flooding situation now stands at 70 lives," government spokesperson Isaac Mwaura said on X after torrential rains killed more than a dozen people in the capital Nairobi this week.
