Hey folks, some sad news from across the continent 🌍. Heavy rains hit Kenya’s coastal city of Mombasa, leading to severe floods that claimed the lives of 5 people. The torrential downpour began late last night and continued into the morning, causing chaos in the bustling port city.
Local authorities reported that the unexpected deluge led to rivers overflowing, streets turning into rivers, and homes being submerged. Rescue teams are on the ground, helping those affected and searching for missing persons.
It’s heartbreaking to see such tragedies unfold. With extreme weather events becoming more frequent, it’s a wake-up call for all of us about the realities of climate change 🌦️. While Mombasa might seem far away, we’re all connected in this global village.
Let’s keep the people of Mombasa in our thoughts, and maybe take a moment to think about how we can contribute to a healthier planet. Stay safe out there! ✌️
