Kenya's rapid response to flooding saves lives and brings relief

Unusually heavy downpours during Kenya’s main rainy season have triggered massive flooding across the country.

To date, almost 55 000 households have been displaced, 188 people injured and 291 people have died.

The government and its partners mounted a multisectoral emergency response.

WHO procured medical supplies and equipment to treat 10 000 people and trained over 720 first responders who were on the ground.
