A comprehensive assessment of the population still displaced in Tana River will be completed next week. Across the country, the heavy long rains season from March to May has displaced a total of 291,171 people. Rainfall continues in the Highlands west of the Rift Valley (Kitale, Kericho, Nandi, Eldoret, Kakamega), the Lake Basin (Kisumu, Kisii, Busia), parts of Central Rift Valley (Nakuru, Nyahururu), the border areas of Northwestern Kenya (Lokichoggio, Lokitaung), and the Coastal strip (Mombasa, Mtwapa, Malindi, Msabaha, Kilifi, Lamu). Humanitarian access by road is constrained due to insecurity along the Turkana-West Pokot border and due to poor roads conditions in Isiolo, Samburu, Makueni, Tana River, Kitui, and Garissa.

Most of the areas that were initially under water are now drying up even though the terrain remains muddy making some areas inaccessible using small vehicles. In the western parts of the country and parts of Rift Valley province however, people are still feeling the brunt of the heavy rains as rainfall continues heavily. The death toll according to media reports has now gone up to 142 (deaths by RVF not included) from the initial number of 114. Rift Valley Province In Tinderet Division, of Nandi South district, one child drowned while crossing Kigwal River. The search for the body is still going on. Landslides have also occurred affecting the squatter population of around 215 families living in a former forest land. Landslides caused destruction before in the years 1990, 1994, 1997 and 2006. Approximately 100 families are camping in Chebirer and Cherondo Primary schools. These schools do not have adequate sanitary facilities and enough rooms to accommodate the displaced families. Some of these people move to their homes during day only to come back to the centres at night in fear that it may rain again.
