Floods in the Eastern region of Kenya and Nairobi result in many casualties
A recent report from the Kenyan Red Cross stated that 38 people died due to severe flooding. Approximately 30,000 individuals were forced to evacuate as a result. These extreme weather conditions were caused by El Niño, a climatic phenomenon originating from the Pacific Ocean occurring every six or seven years. The floods primarily impacted eastern Kenya, including the capital city of Nairobi.
