Fears for Kenya's urban food supply as floods drown rice

Under the scorching sun, farmer Dennis Onyango was replanting his rice fields yet again in Ahero, a town in southwest Kenya, after his entire crop of seedlings had been wiped out by floods - for the third time this year.

The 35-year-old father of five said the first flood came when heavy rains hit Kisumu County in early April. The flooding flattened and waterlogged his young plants, forcing him to buy new seedlings and start again.
