Kenya's Ruto convenes cabinet meeting over deadly floods

Heavier than usual monsoon rains, compounded by the El Nino weather pattern, have devastated the East African country, engulfing villages and threatening to unleash even more damage in the weeks to come. In the worst single incident that killed nearly 50 villagers, a makeshift dam burst in the Rift Valley before dawn Monday, sending torrents of water and mud gushing down a hill and swallowing everything in its path. The tragedy was the deadliest episode in the country since the start of the rainy season.
