Thousands of people in Kenya have been forced to abandon their homes after a drastic rise in the levels of the lakes along the Rift Valley.
Homes, schools, hospitals and roads are under water.
Environmentalists say decades of deforestation and this year’s unusually heavy rains have contributed to the disaster.
Al Jazeera’s Catherine Soi reports from Lake Baringo, where the water has risen by around 12 metres in the last seven years.

Water is life
More water means mote life
This is a wake up call to all who believed that water fears people….
Nature is simply reclaiming its territory
abdishakur ibrahim maalim Maalim Easy to say if you’re not a victim.
Exactly I’m happy, they thought the corrupt system they used will save them.
Global warming is real
Nope that was Lake baringo regaining it’s territories, people grabbed that Land
@Mkenya Mzalendo oh thanks I never knew thought it was climate change
Climat change is everywhere
Climate* change
we all against this fake channel which is support terrorism !!
Al Jazeera is, as far as I know, based in Qatar. I have never ever heard of a terrorist from Qatar. How do they support it again?
@Bob Zee 🖕
I just wish you were blind…
Fear Allah sister
Maybe Kenya is cursed by having and oppressing the Somali territory in the north west against their will! Kenya will never see prosperity until they let go of the Somali territory.
F🖕
Islam is a curse.
Somalis love kenya you are Al shabab
When my country had floods, Kenya didnt help. So why should I care. Also, I dont even feel sorry for people from my country who got flooded. They knowingly bought super cheap land in what is known to be a flood zone once in a decade or two.
It’s called empathy, Bob. That’s the feeling that separates normal human beings from you.
I see. Thanks.
Which country are you from, if you don’t mind me asking?
@Phroggster
And, it seems, Kenya had no empathy for its neighbours.
@Jeff Spam correct I agree with you 💯💯 💯 percent
I wonder who controls the illegal logging, and who benefits from the product. It looks like reforestation on a large scale is needed.
Stupid people from every administration since independence especially in the Moi error big name politicians like Biwott and Kinyua Mai ate Kenyan forest like biscuits but when a poor man tried to do the same the would lose all their investments at Mai Mahiu police road blocks after lorries carrying their timber would be impounded by corrupt policemen acting in tandem with corrupt governments politicians
I’m single 😥😥😥😥😥
Guadalupe Morris and?😄
I’m a single man in Poland .
@Guadalupe Morris looking beautiful a female eyes and I’m strongly agree with you I’m single man in the USA 🇺🇸 and lovely ❣️❣️❣️❣️👍 wonderful good time.
Am 0702260696….in kenya🤣🤣
Total irresponsibility on the part of politicians. All they did was give excuses and leave the villagers to their fate.
The only thing they have learnt to do with apt is to steal from the people.
They should build dams to prevent flooding 💦
Chk if 3 gorges dam has helped China floods.
You mean Dam Same as Ethiopians ???
All that is precious freshwater. They destroyed trees then the didn’t build flood prevention management.
In 6 months they will cry & complain again of ‘no water’.
They are stupid and no one should help them.
You should first concern yourself with stupidity of civil strive currently unfolding in Ethiopia than commenting about a natural phenomena in a neighbouring state.
Thank you Mother Nature, this place was grabbed from nature and now it’s time for payback, those people they knew better that , the land was not theirs but, they used the corrupt system to get it.
STFU
Earth is REBELLING….
The lake undergoes 50 year cycles of flooding. The greedy Lodge guys had it coming
May god bless them and may their guardian angels interfere and bring them a blessing
Clearly not working lol
Daryl Atkinson I knew there was gonna be some dumbass who was gonna comment something so stupid
Lakes are fighting back years of negligence. These were gorgeous lakes and resorts that were managed better by the british until 1963 when everything fell apart.
First case / example
1. Country A and B .. country A has a population of 2 billion people country B has a population of 300 million .. the currency of country A to country B has 3 thousand money .. and country A provides debts to many countries to countries C, D and E
The question of why country A has currency to country b 3 thousand … and why country A is higher in currency than country B. if country A has more population than country B .. and country A owes debt to C, D and E means they have more money for the population and build the country .. the more the population should be the greater the expenses such as education, health, welfare, development, paying officials etc … print as much currency and then offer country A currency loans to many countries. . and order people to invest in other countries .. and that money can be exchanged for natural resources, create media, investment in other countries, businesses in other countries, make slaves (employees) .. how can a population of 2 billion to a country with a population of 300 million resident currency of country A is higher than country B
Kenyan govt and Trumpoloser need to have a beer together to discuss this climate change issue.
Someone should really look into why this happened to them.
I am not convinced it was just nature alone.
Mother Nature strikes back
World is coming to an end it’s a sign Jesus is about to return.We should repent our sins.
They say the river or lake does not forget its course even if its 1000 years later. Peoples should at history and geography and determine how wide were the lakes before they shrunk.right now the water us just claiming its course.sad for the poor cos they are the ones always affected.
Too sad sad for the people of KY
