Kenya is facing a dual threat of severe drought and impending floods, with the Kenya Red Cross Society urging the public to take advisories seriously to mitigate escalating humanitarian crises.

• Approximately 3.3 million people are currently in need of food assistance due to drought, a number predicted to rise to 3.6 million.
• The Secretary General of the Kenya Red Cross Society, Dr. Idris Ahmed, highlighted the difficulty in securing support when facing combined extreme weather events.
• Despite improved early warning systems due to climate science advancements, public institutions are urged to align service delivery with scientific forecasts, as parts of the country are simultaneously experiencing drought while others are warned of heavy rainfall.
