Flood-related deaths in Kenya have risen to 110 as heavy rains continue to batter 30 counties, causing widespread damage to infrastructure.
Authorities confirmed two additional fatalities in the Western and Nyanza regions as emergency response efforts intensify.
According to the National Police Service, widespread flooding has disrupted communities across the country, with critical infrastructure, including transport networks and public utilities severely affected.
Roads have been damaged, access to essential services interrupted, and thousands of residents left vulnerable as rising waters continue to pose a threat.
Authorities say coordinated response efforts are ongoing to enhance safety and provide assistance to affected communities.
Emergency teams have been deployed in various regions to support evacuations, deliver relief supplies, and restore essential services where possible.
The National Police Service has urged members of the public to remain vigilant and make use of available emergency communication channels.
“Emergency lines are accessible 24/7: 999, or 911,” the agency said, adding that incidents can also be reported through #FichuaKwaDCI on 0800 722 203 (toll-free) or via WhatsApp on 0709 570 000.
To improve preparedness and response to the ongoing weather conditions, the public has also been advised to regularly monitor updates from the Kenya Meteorological Department.
The department continues to issue alerts and forecasts to help residents anticipate potential risks and take necessary precautions.
Officials reiterated that safety remains a top priority as rains persist, calling on citizens to avoid flooded areas, heed official warnings, and cooperate with emergency responders.
“The National Police Service remains steadfast in its commitment to serving and protecting the public,” the statement added, underscoring the government’s continued efforts to manage the crisis and minimize further loss of life.
The Kenya Meteorological Department in its March 24 to March 30, 2026 forecast warned of continued scattered rainfall across several regions, though amounts were expected to decline.
It also highlighted rising daytime temperatures above 30°C in some areas and cooler nights elsewhere, alongside risks of localized downpours and weather-related hazards.
