Since March, Kenya has been grappling with catastrophic floods and heavy rains, marking one of the most devastating periods in recent memory. The latest government figures report at least 169 fatalities and 91 individuals still missing due to the deluge.
One of the most tragic incidents occurred in southwestern Kenya, where a blocked river tunnel under a railway line gave way to a flash flood, claiming the lives of at least 48 people. The relentless rain has displaced over 190,000 individuals and caused extensive damage to roads and infrastructure across the country.
