What you need to know:

  • Raging waters have destroyed two sections of Minjila-Mokowe road, cutting off movement to and from Lamu County.
  • The Kenya Red Cross regional coordinator, Hassan Musa, has said 2,119 people have been affected in Lamu and 500 people displaced.

Lamu County is facing a crisis that could shut down the county due to the floods that are wreaking havoc in the Coast region.

The county is already grappling with an acute fuel shortage, raising fears of paralysing boat operations which are the major means of transport.
