There is still widespread destruction in several areas of Nairobi due to flooding.
The capital of Kenya saw significant property damage when residents awoke on Wednesday after an unrelenting night of rain.
Kenyans in the Ngando slum neighborhood begged the authorities for assistance.
Domit, a homeless local, stated, “This is a disaster that has happened from eleven at night until now.”
“We’re still saving lives in this Ngando village. To assist our people, we hope that the government would take the necessary measures. Where will our people go if you urge them to pack up and leave when they are in pain?
On Monday, April 22, Nairobi residents were advised by the Kenyan government agency in charge of roadways to stay away from flooded highways, particularly the one leading to Mombasa, a coastal city.
It was suggested that people who reside near the Nairobi River relocate to higher land.
Many people are left without basic essentials and in a desperate situation amid the destruction.
“We don’t know where to start with our current predicament. We don’t have enough clothes or food to feed our kids. Our dwellings are full of muck and our utensils have been washed away. Iron sheets have even vanished in several places. We’re stuck and don’t know what to do next. We are in great need of help.”
Devastating floods are causing devastation in numerous regions of East Africa.
In order to deal with the consequences, Burundi requested assistance from abroad.
According to Red Cross statistics, flooding disasters in Kenya that have affected over 100,000 people have resulted in 35 deaths since mid-March.
