NAIROBI UNDER WATER: DEADLY FLOODS KILL 23, AIRPORT DISRUPTED AS CITY DROWNS
Heavy rains have triggered devastating floods across Nairobi, leaving at least 23 people dead and causing widespread chaos throughout Kenya's capital. Major roads have turned into rivers, vehicles are submerged, and thousands of residents are struggling to move through knee-deep floodwaters as emergency crews attempt rescues.
Authorities say operations at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport have been disrupted while several neighborhoods remain cut off due to collapsed infrastructure and fallen trees. Images from the city show entire streets underwater as dark storm clouds continue to threaten more rainfall.
Officials are urging residents to avoid flooded areas as rescue operations intensify and fears grow that the death toll could rise. The disaster has renewed urgent questions about urban drainage, infrastructure, and climate resilience in one of Africa's fastest-growing cities.
