This comes amid fears of an emerging humanitarian crisis in areas grossly affected by floods.

Nairobi, Kajiado, Nakuru, Mandera, and Homa Bay Counties are the most affected by the flooding in the last 24 hours as landslides and mudslides continue to occur in Murang'a and Nakuru counties.

For instance, in Nyanza, health workers have raised concerns over the growing cases of malaria in the camps hosting families displaced by floods.

In the Rift Valley region, the destructive floods have brought activities in several towns and villages to a standstill as a result of the heavy trail of destruction in homes and vital infrastructure.
