The Rumuruti-Maralal road has been cut off at Naibor by flash  floods that have hit the area for several days killing three people.

Several families have also been displaced. North and South Rift regions are the most affected. According to Kenya Red Cross Society 2000 people in Turkana East have been affected while five people have been confirmed dead.

KRCS communication manager Titus Mung'ou  said 800 acres of food crops have been destroyed and five bridges washed away adding that two schools and health centres had been damaged.

The rains have also wrecked havoc in Narok, Naivasha, and Kajiado.

Other areas include Koibatek, Mogotio and Rongai districts, affecting 136 households. He said the KRSC had distributed non-food items in Mogotio, Koibatek, Marigat, Naivasha, Nakuru.

" Our team is also involved in search and rescue activities in Nakuru and we have also set up a health camp in Marigat" he said.

Elsewhere, The Internally Displaced Persons( IDPs) camping at Pipeline Nakuru have appealed to the Government to release the iron sheets they were promised last year to avert an outbreak of water borne diseases following the heavy rains pounding the area.

The IDPs decried the poor living condition they were exposed to at their tents.

Their chairperson Ms Beth Wanjiru said the iron sheets claimed were donated by the Chinese government and distributed by the provincial administration last year.
