Heavy rainfall in Kenya, including the capital Nairobi, has led to widespread flooding. The deluge has claimed the lives of at least 11 individuals and displaced over 17,000 others.

Since the onset of the rainy season in mid-March, homes and agricultural lands have suffered extensive damage.

The affected populace is urgently requesting government aid, as they face the looming threats of hunger and disease.

The Kenya Red Cross is actively assisting displaced individuals and advising residents in low-lying areas to seek refuge. The rainfall is expected to persist until early next week.
