 Death toll from Kenyan floods rises to 62, police say A total of 62 people including eight ​children have died since heavy rains ‌and flooding hit Kenya's capital Nairobi and other areas ​late last week, police ​said, Reuters reported. The capital ⁠was the worst hit ​with 33 deaths, the force ​said in a statement on X that updated the official tally ​of casualties. More than ​2,000 families have been displaced across ‌Kenya ⁠and intense rain was continuing in several regions, it added. Aid workers started pulling ​bodies ​from floodwaters ⁠across Nairobi last Saturday after overnight ​flash floods swept away ​dozens ⁠of cars and disrupted flights at East Africa's ⁠biggest ​airport.

      Wife of the Governor of Anambra State, Dr. Mrs Ebelechukwu Obiano, today, August 19, 2020, through her NGO, Caring Family Enhancement Initiative, CAFE, handed over the keys to a fully-furnished bungalow to Mrs Eucharia Nwakibie, a widow from Isieke Village, Akwa, Ozubulu, in Ekwusigo Local Government Area of Anambra State.

The beneficiary, Mrs Nwakibie, lost her husband in 2012, and was forced to live in her father's house afterwards due to accommodation difficulties, with seven of her children, two of whom had died in the challenging periods.

The newly-constructed bungalow comes with a borehole that would serve the beneficiary and her community and a standby power set that would power the building as well as the water.

The house is also equipped with a set of furniture, forty-inch LED television, standing fan, refrigerator, mattress and other basic living amenities.

Mrs Obiano has so far built a total of twenty seven bungalows for widows and less privileged women since CAFE, her NGO, was registered as a charity in August 2014.More photos below.
