15 Killed As Flood Hits Kenya
Category: Africa News
Fifteen people have lost their lives in Kenya as floods swept away scores of houses and devastated farmland following torrential rains.
The Kenya Red Cross disclosed this on Monday, on X, formerly Twitter.
It said heavy rainfall pounded the country, particularly the bone-dry north, in recent days, and sent water gushing into homes and submerging roads, with similar scenes playing out across other parts of East Africa.
“As of yesterday, 15,264 households have been affected, with 15 casualties reported. More than 1,000 livestock have died while at least 240 acres (97 hectares) of agricultural farmland have been destroyed,” the Kenya Red Cross said.
