The Cargo rail services to the Mombasa port in Kenya has resumed after floods wrecked a section of track over the weekend, according to Kenya Railways on Monday, November 20.
Torrential rains associated to the El Nino phenomenon, followed by flash floods, had sunken towns across East Africa, leaving hundreds of thousands of people displaced. In Kenya, the death toll from the floods numbered at 52 as at Friday, and this figure is expected to rise.
The loading and offloading of cargo have recommenced, while the passenger service was also working at normal service, the state-owned rail operator revealed in a statement posted on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter).
Kenya Railways had posted on X:
“We are now working round the clock to reduce any delays.”
