23 crashes. 31 lives lost. 75 seriously injured in just 13 days of August. Speeding, dangerous overtaking and fatigue continue to cost lives on our highways. And in our towns and cities, lower speeds matter too. We are advocating for 30 km/h limits around schools, markets and residential areas to better protect vulnerable road users. Slow down. Save lives. #FikaSalama

“We are looking at something much bigger in scale.” Kenya Red Cross Secretary General Dr. Ahmed Idris on #FixingTheNation warns this El Niño could rival some of the most extreme events on record, with 46 out of 47 counties expected to receive above normal rainfall. Expect landslides, overflowing rivers, urban flash floods and health emergencies across the country. Kenya Red Cross, working with national and county governments, is ramping up preparedness, from community sensitisation to emergency response readiness across high risk counties. Preparedness is critical.
