Floods continue to wreak havoc in North Eastern areas, with four members of a family feared dead after they were swept by raging floods in Marsabit County.
According to the locals, those missing and presumed dead were identified as Baryo Dasanach, 42 and her children Lochuma Yierat (three), Galte Morto (four) and Moroto Lochuma (five).
The bodies are said to have been swept to Lake Turkana.
According to Marsabit County Police commander Bernard Kogo, the floods made it impossible for save the four.
“It has become impossible to go there and establish their status since the flooding happened on Tuesday night,” said Kogo.
A chopper was sent to the area to help in checking if there are more casualties.
The area has been experiencing heavy rainfall in the last few weeks, after a long drought in the area.
Apart from humans, animals have died as a result of the sudden change in weather.
