Families affected by recent flooding in Tana River County have received relief assistance from the government as efforts to support vulnerable communities and strengthen disaster preparedness continue.
Principal Secretary for the State Department for Special Programmes, Ismail Maalim Madey, visited Kitere and Samicha villages in Garsen Constituency, where he led the distribution of food and other essential supplies to affected households.
During the visit, the PS met residents, listened to their concerns, and inspected flood-affected areas where livelihoods have been disrupted by rising waters.
Madey assured residents that the government remains committed to providing timely support while implementing measures aimed at reducing the impact of future weather-related disasters. He urged residents living in flood-prone areas to remain vigilant and follow advisories issued by relevant authorities as the country prepares for the possibility of enhanced rainfall associated with El Niño.
The relief supplies are expected to help affected families recover and rebuild their livelihoods following the floods.
