Heavy rains have caused devastating floods in Makueni County, resulting in the deaths of at least nine people, bringing the total death toll from extreme weather across Kenya to 77. Heavy overnight rains have caused widespread flooding in Kisumu, submerging homes and disrupting daily life across the city. Additionally, heavy rains on Friday night have left hundreds of residents in Dago Village, Kisumu East, stranded and homeless after their homes were flooded. A flood alert has also been issued for residents downstream of the Nairobi Dam due to rising water levels and a structural failure in the earthen barrier, exacerbated by ongoing heavy rainfall.
