Following a delay caused by devastating floods, the reopening of numerous schools in Kenya is now in progress.
To ensure the safe arrival of students, police and transport officials have been deployed.
However, over 1,600 schools are unable to reopen yet due to ongoing floods, as confirmed by authorities.
Expressing concern over student safety, Muslim leaders have urged for close monitoring of the situation.
They are also calling on drivers to exercise vigilance on flood-affected roads.
The floods have caused extensive damage to several schools, contributing to a death toll of over 250 people across Kenya.
Originally scheduled to open on 29 April, the new term start was delayed due to the severe flooding.
