A deluge of
rain on East Africa’s coast has reportedly killed 14 people and left 1,500
people homeless in neighbouring Kenya.
All schools
on the islands of Zanzibar have been temporarily closed because of flooding
following weeks of heavy rains, says the education minister.
The decision
was taken for the safety of children and teachers after some schools were left
submerged in water, minister Riziki Pemba Juma said.
The rains
have also destroyed property and roads.
More than
350,000 students are currently enrolled in school in the semi-autonomous region
of Tanzania.
