El Nino Operations, 2024

Kenya has been experiencing enhanced rains since September, with alarming levels of rainfall because of El Nino conditions and a positive Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) which are currently present in Pacific Ocean and Indian Ocean respectively. The Kenya Meteorological Department (KMD) indicated the rains were expected to peak in November but may continue into January 2024.  

As the floods materialized, Kenya Red Cross Society started its response actions immediately targeting the affected and displaced communities.

Currently we are working in IDP camps in the worst hit counties. Attention has moved to the recovery and reconstruction stage of the disaster and our volunteers and staff are working hard to help alleviate the suffering of the people affected.
