Heavy flooding has caused major devastation in Nairobi, the capital of Kenya, leaving at least 39 people dead and forcing more than 147,000 residents to flee their homes, according to preliminary reports.
Following days of intense rainfall, several neighborhoods were submerged as rivers overflowed and drainage systems failed to cope with the surge of water. Roads were damaged, homes were swept away, and transport services across parts of the city were severely disrupted. City authorities said emergency response teams remain on high alert, conducting rescue operations and moving affected families to temporary shelters. Relief agencies are also distributing food, clean water, and medical aid to displaced residents. Officials have warned that continued rainfall could worsen the situation and have urged people living in flood-prone areas to relocate to safer locations..
