Kenyan schools grapple with flood damage, disease risks after severe flooding
In Kisumu County, western Kenya, substantial efforts are underway after severe flooding delayed students’ return by two weeks. Many schools across the country are damaged or submerged, raising concerns about disease outbreaks. Challenges such as mosquito infestations in classrooms underscore the area’s malaria-prone nature. The region, accustomed to flooding from the Nyando River and Lake Victoria, experienced unprecedented devastation, leaving residents displaced and uncertain about their future living arrangements.
