Kenya’s president has postponed next week’s planned reopening of schools until further notice, as heavy rains and floods that have killed more than 200 people continue
Kenyan President William Ruto has postponed next week’s planned reopening of schools until further notice, as heavy rains and floods that have killed more than 200 people continue. The president in his state of the nation address on Friday said that “meteorological reports paint a dire picture,” citing the possibility of Cyclone Hidaya hitting coastal Kenya in coming days.
Some displaced people have been living in schools while the government prepares to relocate them to camps. The government has ordered people living near 178 dams and reservoirs that are either full or nearly full to evacuate or be forcefully moved. Water levels at two major hydroelectric dams have reached historic highs and the government has warned those living downstream along the Tana River.
