War-displaced people flee towards the city of Goma, eastern Republic of Congo, on November 15, 2022. Thousands of displaced people began to flee after soldiers retreated to Kanyarushinya, an informal camp of over 40,000 people in the northern district of Goma.

A drought in northern Kenya is worsening, despite the country receiving sporadic rainfall in November, which weather forecasters say will not be sufficient. Chris Ngetich, a climate scientist from the Kenya Meteorological Department (KMD), in a statement noted that âin most parts of the country, weâre likely to receive depressed rainfall, and increased probabilities (of such rainfall) are likely over the eastern and northern sectors.â KMD has said that during October, November and December, most areas are likely to see a generally poor distribution of rain but noted that despite the lack of sufficient rainfall, isolated storms capable of causing flash floods are possible.
