NAIROBI, March 31 (AFP) Mar 31, 2008 Seven people have died in Kenya in incidents linked to heavy rains
pounding the country, marking the start of the wet season, police said
Monday.
Two children died at a camp in the Rift Valley regional capital Nakuru
while three people drowned when western Kenya's River Nyando burst its
banks, police said. A man drowned in western Kenya's Nyamira district and another died after
he was struck by lighting in the eastern district of Isiolo, police added. The incidents occurred between Friday and Sunday, but the government has
moved in to assist thousands displaced by floods as the rainy season
starts across the country, police added. Flooding killed dozens of people and displaced tens of thousands in 2007
and in the previous year.
