This sounds so unfortunate, hope the Kenya authorities can do something about this to save lives in the region and fasten preparedness in other regions of the nation starting to experience higher intensity rainfall.

The severe floods wreaking havoc in Turkana County are causing widespread fear among residents. The continuous heavy rains have resulted in the displacement of several families, destruction of homes, and the sweeping away of both human settlements and animals. The magnitude of the impact, with over 10,000 people and more than 5,000 homesteads affected, raises concerns about the intensifying consequences of extreme weather events, possibly linked to climate change. This unfortunate situation underscores the urgent need for adaptive measures and climate-resilient infrastructure to mitigate the growing risks faced by vulnerable communities.
