In Tanzania, heavy rains have affected more than 200,000 people and ruined major infrastructure, officials said.

Flooding and heavy rains in Kenya have killed at least 70 people since mid-March, a government spokesperson, twice as many as were reported earlier this week.

The Red Cross reported at least 38 dead and more than 11,000 displaced after weeks of heavy rains swamped the country and caused rivers to burst their banks.
