The United States has expressed condolences to Kenya following the loss of lives and widespread destruction caused by recent floods that have affected parts of the country, including the capital Nairobi. Authorities have warned that more heavy rains could occur in the coming days, raising concerns about further flooding in vulnerable communities. Humanitarian agencies have been mobilising to assist affected families by providing emergency shelter, food supplies and medical support to those displaced by the disaster. The United States is among Kenya’s longstanding international partners and has often supported humanitarian and disaster response efforts in the region. The Kenya Meteorological Department (KMD) has issued a heavy rainfall advisory for the Nairobi Metropolitan region, warning residents to remain vigilant as showers and isolated thunderstorms continue across the area.
