Due to heavy rainfall and not the right equipment the rescue team could not rescue people from the landslide. The landslide has already killed 8 people and 8 other people are seriously injured. Rescuers say that more people are trapped and the death toll is expected to grow. Villagers have said that the landslide destroyed many households in western Kenya. More than 30 people lived in these houses that were destroyed. Rescuers and other workers have been using shovels and other garden tools to dig out any survivors. Authorities are trying to bring in better equipment while the rain continues to fall.
I think that even though Kenya is a poor country, I think they should proper equipment to handle things like natural disasters. It is important that you should always be prepared because you never know what will happen. Its important to be prepared and have the right tools in case a natural disaster strikes. The U.S. should help give some proper equipment for poor countries like Kenya.
