Reading Time: < 1 minute

Floods and landslides wreak havoc in Kenya, claiming 181 lives since March. The devastating impact of the torrential rain has forced hundreds of thousands to flee their homes, with infrastructure across the region left in ruins.

In the central town of Mai Mahiu, where 48 people lost their lives in flash floods, the search for bodies continues as military personnel and sniffer dogs comb through the debris. The death toll in Kenya has now risen to 179, surpassing last year’s toll from El Nino-triggered floods.

In Kitengela, Red Cross workers are working tirelessly to rescue residents stranded by floodwaters, while tourists in Narok are also being assisted. The closure of major highways and roads due to flooding and debris has further exacerbated the situation.

Pope Francis expressed his sympathy for the people of Kenya during a Vatican audience, acknowledging the tragic loss of lives and widespread destruction. The White House also extended condolences to the victims’ families and pledged support through the U.S. Agency for International Development.

As the region grapples with the aftermath of the disaster, the international community stands in solidarity with Kenya, offering assistance and monitoring the situation closely. The resilience and unity of the Kenyan people in the face of this crisis serve as a testament to their strength and determination in rebuilding their communities.
