MALINDI, Kenya (AP) - A river swollen by heavy rains overflowed its banks, forcing at least 10,000 people to flee their homes and destroying thatched mud huts and crops in impoverished villages, a senior official said Tuesday.
The victims have taken shelter with relatives and on the grounds of two public schools, together with their livestock after the Sabaki River began flooding last week, the Malindi District Commissioner Jan Ireri said.
It was not immediately clear whether there were any fatalities in the floods that destroyed at least 100 homes, he said.
