The landslides in Elgeyo Marakwet have buried many homes. Officials have warned that the number of missing persons may increase.

Due to blocked access to the region, rescue operations have been hindered. Interior Minister Kipchumba Murkomen stated that military and police helicopters have been deployed to assist in the rescue efforts.

Such natural disasters create a significant impact on society and require emergency management. This disaster in Kenya has also prompted calls for international aid and solidarity.
