| BBC News, Mai Mahiu | |
| Over the past week my team and I have been reporting on the floods laying waste to parts of Kenya. | |
| On Tuesday, we visted the Mai Mahiu area, where around 50 people were killed when a deluge swept villagers away as they slept. | |
| We followed rescue workers down along the blasted banks of the river, they were carrying shovels, rakes and sticks to poke through the branches of uprooted trees. | |
| We stopped at an enormous mound of broken branches, covering a crushed house, we are told. | |
| A family of six lived in the house and they may be buried under this mound. | |
| Rescue workers called in a bulldozer, which has been removing the debris in an attempt to find the family. | |
| On the far side of the river, corrugated iron roof panels lurch down over the husk of a house still standing. | |
| Veronica Karanja, 17, and her father David have come back to view the damage. | |
| That dreadful night the teenager was swept out by the water but managed to hang on to a tree until it subsided. | |
| When she made it back, she couldn’t find her father, until he called out. He had been hit in the head and lost hold of her 9-year-old brother Paul. | |
| David has just returned from the morgue to view the body, his eyes cast down, his arm in a sling. | |
| The family lived off their livestock but it is all gone now. Nine-hundred hens and 21 pigs whisked away by the water - only five are left. | |
