Kamuchiri, Kenya: Young men inspect the wreck of a vehicle among piles of debris swept along by waters in the village of Kamuchiri, located roughly 30 miles northwest of Kenyan capital Nairobi, on April 29 amid torrential rain and flash floods. Officials said at least 45 people died when a water mass, originally thought to have come from a burst dam, blasted through a clogged railway tunnel, according to the Associated Press. It brings the death toll in Kenya to more than 150 since March as East Africa struggles with heavy rainfall. On May 3, Kenyan President William Ruto postponed the planned reopening of schools, some of which remain flooded and others damaged, for a second time and warned that “meteorological reports paint a dire picture” in an address to the nation, per AP.
