Residents of Ganahola, Mikindani, Mombasa County, are living in fear due to a rapidly expanding dumpsite filled with medical waste, raising concerns about landslides and disease outbreaks. Despite a health notice and warnings from the Mombasa County Government, illegal dumping continues, particularly at night.

• The dumpsite now contains exposed medical waste, including broken bottles and contaminated materials, posing a severe health risk, especially to children playing nearby.
• Dan Manyala, the County Executive Committee member for Roads and Infrastructure, has issued a stern warning to those illegally dumping.
• The Mombasa County Government claims the site addressing the crisis is part of the current financial year's program, but residents report years of unfulfilled promises.
• Health experts warn that improper disposal of medical materials accelerates the spread of drug-resistant infections, and residents may be legally required to relocate if technical assessments confirm a threat to life.
