Kenya’s Government Causes Heartache by Destroying Homes in Flood Zones and Providing Mere $75 Aid

In Nairobi, a bulldozer demolished homes while security forces with weapons stood guard and fired tear gas at residents. The government urged thousands of people to vacate flood-prone zones, but many are unsure where to go, despite claims that they were informed of options. Human Rights Watch criticized the government's response as insufficient.
