Dozens killed as dam bursts in flood-hit Kenya

Kenyan president William Ruto has convened a special cabinet meeting to address the deadly floods and dam-busting torrential rains battering the country.
Scores of people have been killed over the March-May wet season in Kenya as heavier than usual rainfall pounds East Africa, compounded by the El Nino weather pattern.
The disaster occurred at Old Kijabe dam, a hillside barrier formed naturally over decades after railway construction work by Kenya's former British colonial rulers. The dead included 20 women and 17 children.
