Garissa flood victims have called on the government and other partners to help them rebuild their homes. Their chairperson Abdille Bille said most of them are returning to their destroyed homes and collapsed latrines. “Most of the victims have lost their livelihoods and are unable to start rebuilding without help.”According to the Kenya Red Cross, eight out of nine camps in Garissa Township have been closed after the victims returned to their homes. Bille said the Red Cross was constructing houses for flood victims before the recent floods displaced them. Two weeks ago, deputy county commissioner Samuel Njuguna cautioned the flood victims against returning to their homes and farms until the crisis ends.
