The expansion highlights the extensive reach of the crisis, which has cut across multiple regions and disrupted livelihoods.

Beyond the loss of life, thousands of families have been forced out of their homes due to flooding, landslides and rising water levels. The ministry reports that 6,953 households, equivalent to approximately 34,765 people, have been displaced from their homes.

Many of those displaced are in urgent need of shelter, food, clean water and medical assistance.

Authorities have also confirmed that three people remain missing, with search and rescue operations ongoing in affected areas. Emergency response teams, including security personnel and humanitarian agencies, have been deployed to support evacuations and provide relief supplies to displaced communities.

The government has urged residents living in flood-prone areas to remain vigilant and to follow evacuation directives issued by local authorities. Officials have warned that continued rainfall could worsen the situation, particularly in low-lying areas and regions near rivers and dams.

The ministry reassured that efforts are underway to coordinate response measures across national and county governments, with a focus on saving lives and minimizing further damage.

The ministry emphasized the importance of public cooperation, noting that timely reporting of emergencies and adherence to safety advisories are critical in managing the crisis.

As the country grapples with the unfolding disaster, attention is now shifting to both immediate humanitarian needs and longer-term mitigation strategies to address the recurring impact of floods.
