"NAIROBI, Kenya - Floods caused by two weeks of heavy rain have washed out
roads and submerged entire villages in Kenya, killing at least 30 people
and forcing thousands from their homes, a Red Cross official said Monday.

Rains have also triggered landslides that have damaged the water treatment
system for Nairobi, disrupting water distribution to one third of the
capital's estimated 3 million people, the Daily Nation newspaper reported.

Western Kenya appeared to be the region hardest hit, with more than 15,000
people displaced over the last two weeks, said Mary Kuria, the secretary
general of the Kenya Red Cross. "
