The Kenyan government is providing aid to over 200 families left homeless after separate fire incidents in Kiamaiko and Mabatini villages in Mathare, Nairobi. The fires, which destroyed 200 homes and resulted in one fatality, were likely caused by illegal power connections, open flames, and unsafe gas handling.

• 200 families affected, with 110 houses razed in Kiamaiko and 101 in Mabatini.
• Geoffrey Ruku, Cabinet Secretary for Public Service, Human Capital Development and Special Programmes, led the relief efforts.
• Assistance includes food, bedding, household supplies, and help replacing lost national IDs and academic certificates through Huduma Centre staff and the Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC).
