Residents in Kilifi county who were rescued by the Kenya Defense Forces are appealing for condoms to be supplied in their camps.
According to Daily Nation, one of the locals appealed for urgent need of its supply.
“The need for condoms here is great. Some of us came with our teenagers and, since they are sexually active, our fear is that they may engage in unprotected sex, which could lead to infections,” said Mzee Kitsao
The victims were rescued when River Sabaki, which stretches from Athi River broke its banks and flooded their houses.
According to Kenya Red Cross, the number of the displaced could be as high as 18,000
