The most badly affected community is Gaagbini with close to 15 houses collapsing to the ground.
“Schools in Walewale and Diani are currently used to accommodate the affected people, but some of the affected persons don’t feel comfortable sleeping in the classroom and have resorted to being on the streets with their properties,” he stated.
