Discover the devastating events in Mai Mahiu, Kenya, including landslides, dam bursts, and impassable roads due to heavy rains.

Mai Mahiu, a small town in Nakuru County, Kenya, has recently been struck by a series of tragic events. The heavy flash floods in Kamuchiri Village resulted in the loss of at least 20 lives as homes were wiped out. Additionally, a dam burst in southern Kenya claimed the lives of 35 people and left many others missing, sweeping away homes and vehicles in its path. The Kenya Highways National Authority confirmed that sections of the Mai Mahiu road are currently impassable due to debris caused by the heavy rains, leading to interrupted traffic in the area. Motorists using the Mai Mahiu-Suswa/Narok and Mai Mahiu - Naivasha highways have been advised to seek alternative routes due to road blockages.
