In Kenya's Rift Valley, heavy rains have caused a significant landslide in the Elgeyo Marakwet region. This disaster has resulted in the loss of 13 lives.

Police officials reported that some houses were buried under the earth and many people are missing. Rescue operations have been hindered due to blocked access to the area.

Kenya's Interior Minister Kipchumba Murkomen announced that military and police helicopters have been dispatched to support the rescue efforts. This situation complicates the work of rescue teams.

Such natural disasters are becoming more frequent as a result of climate change and environmental factors. As a society, we need to be prepared for such events.
