Kenya floods death toll at 228 as crisis persists

More than 400 people have died, with hundreds of thousands displaced due to floods and mudslides in multiple countries, leading to significant destruction of homes, roads, and bridges.
Heavy rains worsened by the El Nino weather pattern have caused chaos in East Africa, particularly in western Kenya where the River Nyando overflowed, submerging key infrastructure.
The Kenyan government faces criticism for inadequate preparation and slow response to the crisis, prompting calls to declare it a national disaster, with President William Ruto attributing the recurrent drought-flood cycle to environmental neglect.
