The death toll in Kenya from relentless El Nino-induced floods has surged to 160,000, with 529,120 people displaced from 105,824 households, government spokesperson Isaac Mwaura said Tuesday. "A concerted push to distribute essential supplies, including food and non-food items, continues by road and through airlifts and airdrops in inaccessible areas in 19 affected counties. Evacuation efforts are also ongoing with Kenya Navy boats and the Kenya Coast Guard Service," said Mwaura.
In response to the escalating crisis, the government has been compelled to establish nine additional camps in Tana River County, Migori, Homa Bay and Voi as a means to accommodate the displaced population grappling with the aftermath of the floods.
The ongoing rains in Kenya have unleashed a cascade of challenges, with widespread flooding, landslides and mudslides wreaking havoc across the nation."The impact on infrastructure is significant, with numerous roads rendered impassable, disrupting transportation of people and relief efforts," Mwaura added. Among the damaged facilities are 36 submerged schools.
Kenya is not alone in facing the devastating consequences of El Nino. Neighboring nations Somalia and Ethiopia are also in the throes of torrential downpours.The relentless rains have led to the deaths of hundreds of people, widespread displacement and the destruction of critical infrastructure in the three nations.

One mud hut in Kenya is not getting an overseas call.
The brilliance of the Global Warming Scam. Everything bad that happens on the planet will be blamed on global warming.
And especially when bad things happen in poor countries.
160,000 Kenyan dead! Holy Schmoly!
Thats a huge tragedy.
If ytou have been to Kenya, there are rivers in the Great Rift Valley that could really be bad.
Why is this not all over the news?
I have seen nothing mentioned about it.
This is Obama’s birth country, you figure the Dems would be sending shiploads of aid?
Memories of Chris Farley.
FR memeber Since Feb 2022 ?
Welcome to FR.
So glad you support Israel against Hamas (sarc.)
Who counted….?
And WHERE is Obamaumao the First? Nowhere to be seen helping his Nation of Birth, and his pal Raila Odinga. Check out that clown Marxist.
Kenya floods- and most learn to live elsewhere.
Sounds like BS. Nothing elsewhere in news and no nothing of the linked site.
The 160k could be total number of deaths from flooding over the last 1000 years.
Some articles say 160,000; others say 160. The lower number is more likely accurate.
The headline says 160,000 killed.... Almost at the end of the article is says... The relentless rains have led to the deaths of hundreds of people. Thousands or hundreds?
This article Sounds like Troll news for sure.
I think its nothing but click bait.

MODs, maybe delete this thread?
The number is BS on its face. This source says 160
Not 160,https://www.aa.com.tr/en/africa/death-toll-hits-160-in-kenya-as-el-nino-floods-wreak-havoc/3074231
Legitimate news sites say the death toll is 160 people.
Very sad story, still, but your post is stupid.
(Not 160,000 people.)
How many died in Kenya from Covid AND the clot shot combined …. is probably well below 160.
Those poor souls had intelligence and ivermectin to protect ‘em.
Anyway / the headline could wail that the flooding was more destructive to Kenya than covid!
El Nino is already on the wane.
Bill Gates will be very disappointed.
Remember, we are likely dealing with a school of journalism graduate. When I was attending a school of mines, we used to make jokes about "J students" who were correctly considered the dumbest kids on campus.
