AfricaPress-Kenya:<\/strong> One person died and property destroyed as flash floods swept through Tangulbei village (above)<\/strong>\u00a0in Tiaty Baringo County.\u00a0Confirming the incident area Deputy County Commissioner Sylvester Munyasia said over ten semi-permanent houses, business premises and other structures were destroyed on Saturday.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe area is still flooded, we lost one person and ten semi-permanent structures washed away,\u201d said Munyasia.<\/p>\n

For two days, the area has experienced heavy rains that have forced River Tangulbei\u00a0to break its banks, spilling the raging waters to the Tangulbei trading center which was partly submerged.\u00a0A major road leading to Tangulbei town cut off as the bridge connecting the area with Marigat town was swept away.<\/p>\n

\u201cA bridge connecting Tangulbei and Marigat was destoyed making it hard to access the area,\u201d he added.\u00a0The administrator said some 50 families have been displaced and were in need of urgent humanitarian assistance.\u00a0Mark Karani,\u00a0a local\u00a0resident, said the situation was terrible and they have never witnessed such an incident in the area before.<\/p>\n

Karani said the floods started on Friday night after heavy rains but some lucky residents fled their homes before the storm waters begun sweeping through the village.\u00a0\u201cWe are just appealing for food and temporal shelter.<\/p>\n

We have been left with nothing. I call on the county government to move with speed and rescue us from the crisis we are in,\u201d said Karani.\u00a0Baringo\u00a0Governor Stanley Kiptis said the county government was mobilising funds to assist the affected.<\/p>\n

Kiptis said those living in affected areas should move out to avert any fatalities.\u00a0\u201cThe County Government is mobilizing resources to assist those affected by the floods. I however call on those living in the affected areas to move to higher grounds to avert any fatalities, said Kiptis.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
