Nairobi, Kenya—Since March, Kenya has faced unprecedented amounts of rainfall and, consequently, raging floods that have wreaked havoc as they sweep across the country. This has led to deaths and displacement of people and the destruction of croplands, leaving the East African nation facing a possible famine.

The most affected parts are in the western parts of the country near Uganda, the central parts including Nairobi, and the eastern parts near the Indian Ocean.
