The Kenya Red Cross - Nairobi has called out for food and nonfood contributions to the families affected by floods in different parts of the city.
Red Cross stated that it has already provided, 94 families in the Majengo area with essential non-food items, including kitchen sets, mats, and water jerricans, but more aid is needed.
"Acknowledging that our support may not have fully met their needs, we believe that every contribution counts and will bring significant relief to those impacted," it added.

The Kenya Red Cross has assured that it is conducting a needs assessment for the affected families and has further pledged to provide temporary shelter to the displaced families.
