NAIROBI: The death toll from a deadly landslide in western Kenya has risen to 26 after four more bodies were retrieved on Sunday, shortly before rescue efforts to find survivors were suspended due to a flash flood. Interior Minister Kipchumba Murkomen said 25 people are still missing and that the government had intensified the search mission, with the military deploying four aircrafts to help teams access the area that has been completely cut off after roads were washed away during Saturday’s landslide.

Kenya's government says 30 other people are missing following downpours in the west of the country.

A landslip in western Kenya has killed 21, left 30 missing, and destroyed over 1,000 homes amid heavy rains.
