At least 13 people were killed in western Kenya’s Rift Valley in a landslide early yesterday morning following heavy rains, the police said.
Nineteen people have been rescued and an unknown number are still missing, Elgeyo-Marakwet County police commander Peter Mulinge told Reuters.
Kenya’s interior minister, Kipchumba Murkomen, said in a statement that military and police helicopters had been deployed to assist with the rescue efforts.
Hundreds of people have been killed in recent years in landslides and flooding in Kenya.
