The National El Nino Emergency and Disaster Response Command Centre says, 51 camps set up to accommodate victims of the recent El Nino rains have been closed as they return to their homes.
In a statement, the command centre said 94,108 displaced households (470,160 people) have returned home, especially in the counties of Mombasa, Wajir, Kitui, Meru, Marsabit, Elgeyo Marakwet, Turkana, Narok, Nyandarua, Busia, and Nairobi.
Additionally, the command centre said all roads are now passable, particularly those affected in the North Eastern and Coast regions, but advised drivers across the Country to exercise caution and pay attention to safety advisories in case of heavy rains and unconducive driving conditions.
Further, the centre said over the Christmas period, the weather forecast predicts rainfall in the South Eastern and Coast regions of the Country, while the North Eastern and North Western regions experience dry conditions with occasional light showers.
"We appreciate the collaborative efforts of all stakeholders in responding to this crisis and urge continued vigilance and preparedness," the statement read in part.
