Extreme rains and flooding kill 100 people in Kenya

Trucks swept away by water, collapsing dams, and flooded airports: These are the scenes witnessed in Kenya over the weekend because of heavy rainfall and flooding. The downpours have also killed around 100 people so far. Experts say the extreme weather is wreaking havoc across several countries in East Africa. The World’s Africa Correspondent Halima Gikandi reports from the Kenyan capital, Nairobi.

Update: The original story said Joseph Otieno, who lost his home in the floods, was staying with his friends whose homes were intact. In fact he is sleeping at a church.
