A dam has burst its banks in Kenya's Rift Valley, killing at least 38 people and forcing hundreds from their homes, officials said. Water burst through the banks of the Patel Dam in Solai, Nakuru County, on Wednesday night, sweeping away hundreds of homes, including those on the expansive Nyakinyua Farm, which borders the reservoir. Up to 40 people have been rescued from the mud and many may still be trapped, officials say.
