"We had to abandon our shelter after it was submerged" 70 year-old Muhumed shelters in a school in Dadaab refugee camp after heavy rains and flooding. UNHCR is working with local government & partners to support those most in need and distributing essential items.

Some 20,000 refugees are displaced from their homes and shelters in the Dadaab refugee camps due to flooding. UNHCR and partners are distributing blankets, sleeping mats, mosquito nets, dignity kits, water purifiers, jerrycans, soap & kitchen sets to those most in need.

Today the rains have luckily subsided in Dadaab, but 3,000 shelters have been destroyed and 20,000 refugees are still displaced. UNHCR continues to distribute essential non-food items and we are coordinating with partners and the Government.

Recent heavy rains in East Africa are taking a heavy toll, destroying homes and causing displacement. 📍These scenes are from Kenya's Dadaab refugee camps. The climate crisis is wreaking havoc and displaced people are once again bearing the brunt of it.
