Disastrous flood of enormous proportions destroys Maasai Mara Savecter in Kenya, kills about 200

Catastrophic flooding in Kenya's Maasai Mara nature reserve killed nearly 200 people, and stranded tourists as rivers burst banks, submerging lodges and vehicles, highlighting climate change's deadly impacts.

Swarms of flooding in southwestern Kenya have so far left 188 people dead and the people of today were stranded at the Maasai Mara National Reserve as well as the expected visitors. The heavy rainfall lasted for weeks and the rivers overflowed its banks. In this way, tents and cars in tourist lodge areas, as well as camps were submerged in the popular nature reserve.

The Kenyan government requested an evacuation of some tourist facilities as Talek River's water levels rose and engulfed over a dozen riverside properties in Maasai Mara. This kind of death-defying presentation is brought to social media by videos where buildings and automobiles are entirely submerged as tourists hastily try to leave the affected regions.

The Narok County Chief Executive, Kipkech Lotiatia, warned that any person who won't evacuate will be arrested and charged with attempting to commit suicide. Kenyan officials posted helicopters to evacuate tourists and workers trapped by severe floods from the area of Maasai Mara as the only alternative.

Local residents and small businesses who rely on recreation or tourism are also adversely affected by the flooding disaster. In the town of Mai Mahiu, a single mudslide was the cause of life of at least 50 people, following 71 deaths at the beginning. About ten were the only ones who had recovered up to this moment in Nairobi alone due to the unrelenting heavy rains and flash floods.

The vast scale of the flood flow has been attributed to above-normal rains due to the El Niño weather dimming. East Africa and that is Kenyan territory is considered a moderate climate change zone.

Human rights institutions have advocated that the Kenyan government expeditiously come to the rescue of communities undergoing disasters and high-risk populations susceptible to the effects of climate change.

Amidst the search operations aimed at saving the victims of the flood, the fatal impact of the disaster brought to the fore the dangerous situation of the world due to the global warming effect.
