NAIROBI — Floods in Kenya have killed at least six people and left dozens missing, also washing away entire herds of cattle, police and the Red Cross said Friday.

The torrential rains across several parts of Kenya, including in some of its most visited natural parks, left hundreds of people homeless and required helicopter evacuations of tourists.

"Six people have been killed since yesterday. Three of them were washed away by floods in Nakuru while the three others were killed in Marsabit," a senior police officer told AFP.

"Those killed in Marsabit are young children who were washed away as they played in an open field in Dukana area," he added.
