12-year-old girl swept away as hundreds displaced by floods in Nairobi

An intense downpour has caused floods in Nairobi, Kenya, as hundreds of people have been displaced from their homes. One of the most unfortunate incidents was the case of a 12-year-old girl who got swept away by the floodwaters. Local rescue teams are currently searching for her. The floods have also caused massive destruction, washing away homes and properties. The situation has been aggravated by poor infrastructure and drainage systems in the city. Sadly, these annual floods have become a norm, and as the population grows, the problem continually worsens. The government needs to step up efforts to improve the city’s drainage systems and prevent avoidable deaths and losses. In conclusion, it’s essential to create awareness of climate change’s effects and sensitize the public on the need to take care of the environment to prevent severe weather patterns like floods.
