"At least 23 people have been killed in Nairobi after heavy rain overnight caused severe flooding in Kenya's capital city.
Nairobi, along with regions such as the Central Highlands, Lake Victoria Basin, and the coastal areas, remains under heightened alert for peak rainfall in the coming days, it added."
"The death toll from heavy rains and flooding in Kenya's capital Nairobi and elsewhere has nearly doubled to 42.
Scientists say global warming is worsening floods and droughts across East Africa by concentrating rainfall into shorter, more intense bursts. A 2024 World Weather Attribution study found climate change had made devastating rains in the region twice as likely as before."
"In southern Ethiopia's Gamo Zone, at least 64 people have died after saturated slopes gave way following days of intense rainfall.
Across the border, Kenya's Interior Ministry reported 50 deaths, with 17 counties affected including Nairobi, Kisumu, and Narok."
The death toll from devastating floods and landslides across East Africa has surpassed 110, with at least 64 people killed in Ethiopia and 50 in Kenya, as torrential rains continue to batter the region, destroying homes and displacing thousands.
"Kenya is facing the aftermath of several weeks of torrential rains and severe flooding that have now killed at least 108 people.
Across the country, the floods have disrupted daily life, forcing the closure of schools, rendering roads impassable, and interrupting business activity, particularly in low-lying and informal settlements."
