According to the Principal Secretary for Diaspora Affairs, no Kenyans have been reported injured or killed due to the ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestine.
Ms Njogu said the government had already taken measures to remove Kenyans trapped in Israel and secure their safety.
"The embassy has not reported any casualties involving Kenyans living in Israel so far." "All of our people have been found," Njogu added.
PS Ms Njogu states that at least 500 Kenyans are legally registered to live in Israel. She is concerned that there may be more unregistered citizens in the country.

“Government agencies, together with the Ministry of Diaspora Affairs, are monitoring the situation and keeping in touch with the team at the embassy (in Tel Aviv). We are working on plans for evacuation,” she said.
The Israeli-Palestinian conflict began on Saturday when a Palestinian militant organization struck Israel unprecedentedly.
According to the latest report, at least 900 Israelis and 700 Palestinians had been killed in the war as of Tuesday.
The war, which began near the Gaza border, has taken the lives of scores of soldiers and civilians, including women and children.
"We are deeply disturbed by the deliberate targeting of civilians in this conflict, which has resulted in an increasing number of casualties." As a result, we urge all parties to respect civilian rights and uphold their international legal commitments," Ruto said.
