Eleven people and a dog were rescued from the raging flood waters in Kenya on Wednesday, the country’s Red Cross has said.
The rescue happened at around 5 a.m. local time as the Red Cross team helped families to safety amid torrential downpours in Kitengela, Kajiado County, located south of the capital Nairobi. The humanitarian agency described the rescue mission as “challenging” but later offered a glimmer of hope with reports that floodwaters were gradually receding.
They had little equipment and resources but banded together to help in whatever way they could. One resident, a motorbike taxi rider who did not wish to be named, told CNN that he had provided fuel for a power saw used to cut down uprooted trees. “Ask the government to send us excavators,” the man said. Facing mounting criticism, Kenyan President William Ruto said Tuesday that he’s ordered the military to deploy personnel to help find missing people.
