De fortes pluies à Nairobi, au Kenya, ont mis un barrage sous pression maximale, menaçant de céder. L'Autorité des ressources en eau a émis un avertissement, demandant l'évacuation de six quartiers, dont le bidonville de Kibera, en raison du risque d'inondation. Les habitants de Kibera, vivant près de la rivière Nairobi, sont particulièrement vulnérables, beaucoup ayant déjà subi des inondations et étant confrontés à une spéculation immobilière accrue. Le barrage de Nairobi, construit en 1953, est considéré comme un danger en raison de son âge et de sa capacité dépassée. Le gouverneur de la ville souligne l'urgence d'agir pour éviter une perte massive de vies humaines si le barrage venait à céder.
