Severe flooding devastates Nairobi's Mukuru slum | Video

Nairobi, May 11 (EFE/EPA) - The thunderous sound of a bulldozer and the occasional comments - some resigned, others angry - of hundreds of people watching as the huge machine reduces sheet metal houses to rubble have filled the air for a week in the informal settlement of Mukuru, southeast of Nairobi.

Crossed by the Ngong River, Mukuru is one of the areas of the capital most affected by the devastating floods that have hit the country, which has faced torrential rains since mid-March.
