Kenya and Tanzania are on high alert as they anticipate the arrival of Cyclone Hidaya, following a period of relentless rains and devastating floods that have ravaged East Africa. The region has already witnessed the loss of nearly 400 lives, with tens of thousands displaced from their homes. Cyclone Hidaya is gradually approaching the eastern coast of Tanzania, with meteorologists predicting its landfall later on Friday, based on the latest weather forecasts. The cyclone is expected to bring further precipitation to neighbouring Kenya, including the major coastal city of Mombasa, situated just north of the cyclone's path.

Intense rainfall over several weeks in Tanzania has triggered devastating flooding and landslides, claiming the lives of 155 individuals and leaving 236 others injured, according to the country's Prime Minister, Kassim Majaliwa. Addressing Parliament, Majaliwa attributed the severity of the ongoing rainy season to the exacerbation of the El Niño climate phenomenon. The relentless downpours have not only caused widespread flooding but also inflicted extensive damage to infrastructure, including roads, bridges, and railways, exacerbating the challenges faced by affected communities across East Africa.
