The Red Cross in Kenya says floods in the centre of the country have now forced more 200,00 people to flee their homes.
The aid organisation says the situation is dire and with heavy rainfall persisting, the flood waters will continue to pose a risk to thousands more across the country.
Many roads have been submerged and are now impassable and the state owned power company says the Kiambere Dam, north-east of the capital Nairobi, is overflowing.
It has asked people living downstream to evacuate their homes.
