Members of the public are stranded on one side of the road after the bridge at Mrima, Mombasa, Kenya, was washed away by heavy floods Sunday, Feb.11, 2007. Torrential downpours and flash floods across Africa during 2007 have submerged whole towns and washed away bridges, farms and schools, killed at least 150 people, displaced hundreds of thousands and prompted the U.N. to warn of a rising risk of disease outbreaks.
