Kenya's arid and semi-arid regions are facing a new challenge as recent El Nino rains trigger a surge in diseases, following one of the worst droughts in decades. 🌧️😔
The National Drought Management Authority (NDMA) released a report on Thursday, revealing that all 23 regions classified as arid and semi-arid lands (ASALs) are no longer experiencing drought conditions. However, the excess rainfall has created a breeding ground for various diseases, putting additional strain on the communities recovering from prolonged dryness.
Residents and health officials are urging for increased support and measures to combat the rising health concerns amidst the shifting climate patterns. 🏥🌍
