Heavy rains pounding different parts of Kenya have led to dozens of deaths and the displacement of tens of thousands of people, according to the United Nations.

Human Rights Watch accuses Kenyan authorities of not responding adequately to ongoing floods that have killed more than 170 people since the start of the rainy season.
