Ewaso Nyiro bursts banks, floods sweep over 200 camels in Isiolo
Adan Galgalo with other Isiolo residents who lost livestock after River Ewaso Nyiro burst its banks causing floods in the area address journalists in Isiolo town.
Herders watched helplessly as the animals got submerged and swept away
Isiolo pastoralists are counting losses following heavy downpour in parts of the county and the neighbouring Meru and Laikipia Counties which has caused deaths of hundreds of animals in the last few days.
The long-awaited rains have resulted in swelling and bursting of River Ewaso Nyiro’s banks causing flooding in downstream areas of Garbatulla and Merti where pastoralists now risk losing all their livestock.
