Kenya dam collapse: Dozens killed in town north of Nairobi
At least 40 people have been killed after a dam burst its banks in a town north of the Kenyan capital Nairobi.
Water from the Old Kajiabo Dam washed away houses and cut off a major road.
Search and rescue efforts are underway.
Floods caused by unusually heavy rains have killed dozens of people across East Africa since March.
Al Jazeera’s Catherine Soi is at the dam that burst in Nakuru county and Malcolm Webb is east of the capital at another dam at risk of overflowing.
