At least 76 people have been killed and 242,536 displaced by floods since the rains began four weeks ago. The Kenya Red Cross Society said their homes were either swept away by the floods or submerged by rain waters forcing the families to move out. “Several households have been affected with people displaced, infrastructure and crops damaged and animals swept away,” Kenya Red Cross said in a statement yesterday. The Red Cross said the death toll stood at 76 by Saturday.
