Kenya flash floods death toll rises above 45

Nairobi — The death toll from flash floods in Kenya has climbed to more than 45, according to the latest reports. The country has been experiencing heavy rainfall, which has resulted in widespread flooding and significant damage across several regions.

Authorities have confirmed that at least 45 people have lost their lives due to the severe floods. The ongoing heavy rains have caused rivers to overflow, submerging homes and infrastructure, and displacing numerous residents. Emergency services are continuing rescue and relief operations in the affected areas.

Local officials have warned that the situation remains critical, with more rainfall expected in the coming days. They have urged residents in vulnerable areas to move to safer locations and to follow guidance from emergency response teams.

The floods have also disrupted transportation, with several roads rendered impassable and some bridges damaged or washed away. The government and humanitarian organizations are working to provide assistance to those affected, including temporary shelter and food supplies.

Kenya frequently experiences heavy rains during the rainy season, but this year’s downpours have been particularly intense, leading to increased concerns about the impact on communities and infrastructure.
