🇰🇪 Mudslide in Elgeyo-Marakwet County: 13 dead and many missing (November 1, 2025)

🌧 A powerful mudslide struck Elgeyo-Marakwet County in western Kenya following prolonged heavy rains. Torrents of mud and debris destroyed homes and roads, burying dozens of residents under the rubble.

According to preliminary reports, 13 people have been confirmed dead, and many others remain missing. Rescue operations are ongoing, but access to affected areas is hampered by washed-out roads and continuing rainfall.

Meteorologists warn that this year’s rainy season in East Africa has been far more intense than usual, driven by the El Niño phenomenon and broader shifts in global climate patterns.
