Water and mud ran over an entire village

29-04-2024 by Freddie del Curatolo

Yet another tragedy occurred this night due to the heavy rains that have been falling for days on Kenya, and in particular in the Rift Valley region. A river that broke its banks in the Mai Mahiu area, between Nairobi and Naivasha, overflowed a nearby dam, whose waters mixed with mud and swept over an entire village. This morning's bulletin speaks of 42 victims, the local police commander confirmed to the media. In addition to the recovered victims, however, there are many more missing, as well as several others who have been transported to the hospital in the town of Naivasha.
Until yesterday, according to data reported by the government spokesperson, there were 83 official victims of the floods of the past few days across the country, but as early as last night, 10 more deaths had been reported in the Garissa area, plus 17 missing after a boat capsized in the floods of the Tana river.
