Comments:
Heavy flooding was reported in Tana River District on 21st November 2007 that resulted in widespread damage to infrastructure and the displacement of approx 3,420 people (570 families). The problem was compounded by the release of excess water from Kengen?s hydroelectric dams. The most affected areas were Bura, Wenje, Garsen, Boji, Ozi and Kau. The massive destruction of homes has forced people to seek temporary shelter in Internally Displacement People?s (IDP) camps.
