Nairobi, Kenya (PANA) – Kenya has donated US$1 million (KShs 91 million) to Malawi flood victims, Foreign Affairs and International Trade Principal Secretary Karanja Kibicho said.

Sending the condolences to the victims and wishing a quick recovery to those affected, Kibicho said Kenya identifies with the people and the government of Malawi over the unexpected disaster that has befallen the country.

“We commiserate with the people of Malawi following unexpected flooding that has killed and rendered thousand others homeless. Kenya is offering a little hand to help in humanitarian effort that the country now faces,” kibicho said, adding that the money had already been transmitted to the Malawi Embassy in Nairobi.

Although humanitarian efforts are already underway, continuing rain is making rescue operations hard.

More than 200 people have been killed and 200,000 displaced by torrential rain and flooding in Malawi.
