Overview
- Kenya has confirmed at least 21 deaths in Marakwet East, with roughly 30 people reported missing and 25 seriously injured airlifted to Eldoret.
- Search operations in Kenya paused overnight and are set to resume, with military and police helicopters assisting as destroyed roads hinder access.
- Uganda reports at least 15 people feared dead in Kapchorwa, Kween, and Bukwo after early‑morning landslides buried homes and swept away farmland.
- The Suam Bridge at the Uganda–Kenya border is cut off after the Suam River burst its banks, isolating communities on both sides.
- Residents in affected Ugandan districts say formal rescue teams had not arrived by morning and describe digging for survivors with hand tools, while experts link the region’s worsening extremes to climate change.
