Deadly flooding in Kenya has killed over 260 people and displaced over 280,000 as it swept away entire communities and destroyed bridges, roads, healthcare facilities, and other key infrastructure.
Isiolo County, only four hours north of Nairobi, faces “crisis” levels of hunger. Flooding in the county particularly devastated water and sanitation facilities.
