Kenyan Flood Death Toll Hits 110, Displaces Thousands

The death toll from floods has risen to 110 as heavy rains continue to pound multiple regions across the country.

The flooding crisis has now spread to 30 counties, with newly affected areas including Kilifi, Bungoma, Nyeri, Kirinyaga, Nyandarua, Kiambu, Uasin Gishu, and Mandera, signaling a widening humanitarian emergency. Nairobi remains the hardest-hit region, accounting for the highest number of deaths at 37 fatalities.

Authorities warn that the figures may rise as search and rescue operations continue in submerged and hard-to-reach areas. As a result of the disaster, 6,953 households were affected, resulting in approximately 34,765 people being displaced from their homes. Several parts of the country are expected to receive continued rainfall, causing residents in flood-prone areas to move to higher ground and heed early warnings.
