    WHO-trained Rapid Responders evaluate the aftermath of the April 29th flash flood in Mai Mahiu, offering essential health support to affected communities.  From March to May 2024, Kenya experienced exceptionally heavy rains, leading to widespread devastation, including fatalities, disease outbreaks, and severe infrastructure damage. Mai Mahiu was one of the worst affected areas. On the night of April 29th, torrential rains in Mai Mahiu caused water to accumulate beneath a railway embankment. The embankment eventually gave way, resulting in a powerful flash flood. The floodwaters rapidly engulfed families, trees, cars, and homes. In response to the disaster, WHO emergency teams and WHO-trained Rapid Responders quickly mobilized. They assessed the situation and provided essential health support to the affected families and communities in Mai Mahiu and other impacted regions across Kenya.WHO-trained Rapid Responders evaluate the aftermath of the April 29th flash flood in Mai Mahiu, offering essential health support to affected communities.  From March to May 2024, Kenya experienced exceptionally heavy rains, leading to widespread devastation, including fatalities, disease outbreaks, and severe infrastructure damage.
