Floods and landslides kill at least 18 in Kenya

At least 18 people have died due to flooding and landslides caused by heavy rains in multiple regions of Kenya. Landslides were reported in Tharaka Nithi, Elgeyo-Marakwet, and Kiambu counties. Authorities warned residents of the dangers posed by challenging weather conditions, while traders in Nairobi protested the poor state of roads affected by the rains. This incident occurs as the country experiences its March to May rainy season, exacerbated by human-induced climate change.
