At a time when they were already having to cope with the Covid-19 pandemic, countries in East Africa are also having to contend with widespread flooding.
More than 260 people have died following days of heavy rain. Kenya with 198 deaths is the worst hit country in the region. However, Rwanda, Somalia and Uganda are also badly affected.
