The country has been hit by unrelenting downpours of rain, displacing over 4,000 households. 

According to the Kenya Red Cross, the flood left destruction in its wake, affecting nearly 20,000 households. 

Areas like Nairobi, where flash floods caused by rising waters along the Ngong and Nairobi Rivers have wreaked havoc in the communities of Kware, Kibra, Viwandani, Mukuru Kwa Njenga, and Mukuru Kwa Reuben, have been brutally hit. Residents of Tana River are terrified due to the rising river, and they have been advised to evacuate to safer areas before something terrible happens.

The Thigoko area of Kirinyaga County's Ndia constituency is witnessing the aftermath of the nation's heavy downpours. As the unrelenting rain continues to wreak havoc, hundreds of households remain submerged, forcing hundreds of people to relocate.


A resident named Janet Murimi described the terrible circumstances as follows: "There are no houses, no places to sleep, and nofood to eat... We woke each other up at seven o'clock at night in order to escape the rain."

Chief Peter Mutugi confirmed the nighttime evacuation efforts: "We relocated people overnight..."

Devastated residents, displaced by the floods, now confront the looming threat of hunger, urgently appealing to the government for essential relief provisions.

Harrison Gicira, another affected resident, lamented, "We don't know where others are... We managed to save a few people... Now food will be a challenge..."

Mukuru Kwa Reuben's residents face impending disaster due to the country's ongoing downpours. 


In this densely populated slum, bridges have been washed away, leaving the one that remains dangerous for thousands of people who depend on it.

Mukuru Kwa Reuben resident Alice Kimeu outlined the dire circumstances, saying, "Now it's a struggle to get around to Kingstone... We still have anxiety when we cross because our possessions have been taken. Reaching Kingstone is a true challenge."

Another local, Evans Onyego, expressed worries about the bridge's unstable condition: "They are only looking at the bridge. When we need help, they wait for disasters to occur before responding."

The aftermath of Sunday's heavy rains is visible in Karen, where a path of devastation from the floods comprises broken walls and submerged homes.


Residents of Madogo in Garissa are concerned about the rising Tana River because they fear losing their homes and being uprooted by the rising water levels.

The precarious state of the road between Madogo and Garissa, coupled with alarming flood levels, signals imminent danger, with communities in the Tana River-Assa sub-location already marooned.

According to the Red Cross, the effects are widespread, affecting 16 counties, affecting 17,445 households and displacing 4,639 households.
