The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) warns that areas in northern Kenya currently experiencing rains may be at risk for Rift Valley Fever. The last outbreak claimed the lives of both humans and livestock in 2006.

Human fatalities were reported during the last week of October in eastern Upper Nile state in Maban County, Sudan after floods impacted many localized areas. Potable water availability has also been impacted, 25 people died after drinking from a pond.
