Flash floods kill at least 23 people in Kenya's capital Nairobi

Devastating flash floods struck Kenya's capital Nairobi overnight Friday into Saturday, killing at least 23 people according to local authorities. The deadly torrential rains swept away victims or caused fatal electrocutions as flood waters overwhelmed the city's infrastructure. The disaster highlights the vulnerability of Nairobi, a sprawling metropolis of over 4 million people, to extreme weather events that frequently cause casualties due to inadequate drainage systems and informal settlements built in flood-prone areas.
