Rising waters from Lake Naivasha have displaced thousands of residents in Lakeview Ward, Naivasha, creating a humanitarian crisis and fears of waterborne disease outbreaks. The worst-hit area is Kihoto Estate, where many families, primarily flower farm workers, are struggling to find affordable alternative housing.

• Over 4,000 people have been affected, with three-quarters of residential areas submerged.
• Lakeview Ward MCA Alex Mbugua noted a shortage of housing and tripled rents due to increased demand.
• Cecilia Wanjiru and Hamisi Ondieki are among those forced to abandon their homes due to the floods.
• The Nakuru County Government is assisting with evacuations, but many families remain stranded, particularly those further from the shore.
