100+ Killed, Thousands Displaced in Kenya from Massive Flooding

HeadlineMay 04, 2020

In Kenya, over 1,800 families have lost their homes in recent days as heavy rains trigger massive flooding in western Kenya. Rains have been pounding the region for weeks, killing over 100 people in floods and landslides. This is a displaced resident.

Vincent Ochieng: “It has been flooding for three days now. I think the government is not even aware, but now we are telling them. We are asking if there are any plans to assist us. Only two boats are here for evacuating people.”
