  • More than 40 people have died in Kenya after a dam burst, following heavy rains and flooding.
    People in villages 60km (37 miles) from the capital, Nairobi, were swept away as they slept, and rescue teams are digging through the mud in search of survivors in several villages, including Kamuchiri and Kianugu in Nakuru county.
    Seventeen of the 42 bodies recovered so far have been children, with officials saying the death toll could continue to rise.
    More than 100 people have been killed in floods that have devastated parts of Kenya in the last month, and over 100,000 people have been displaced, with many taking shelter in schools.

    It was a dam but not man made ,it was formed naturally.....so BBC is not wrong to say that it was a dam.

    _"I keep seeing the media saying this was a burst dam. It was not. There has never been a dam here. Blocked tunnel under the old railway lines created a lake. It broke after days of build up."_
    _"Absolutely, there's no actual dam in Kijabe. The disaster was caused by blocked railway tunnels acting as unintended dams."_

    Since Ruto came to power, it has been disaster after disaster. To mention a few: Shakahola massacre killed hundreds of people. Since August 2022, road accidents have so far claimed close to 10,000 people. Now floods are killing hundreds of people every week. The roof of the international airport at JKIA is leaking. Government has been selling fertilizer mixed with soil and stones to farmers.
