More than 200 dead in floods in Kenya

The weather also had an impact on tourists’ travel plans. But for many locals, things could get even worse: The Interior Ministry has now called on everyone to leave the regions of the 178 full dams and water reservoirs within 24 hours.

Anyone who doesn’t leave voluntarily will be forcibly evacuated, it was said. The authorities in the East African country want to avoid another tragedy like the one a few days ago when a dam burst in the Rift Valley, which left 50 dead. Severe storms are also raging in neighboring countries. There is no end in sight.
