Since January, the Serene Haven school in central Kenya has served as an oasis for teenage mothers of the so-called Covid generation.“Most of the girls we are getting are the ones who got pregnant during the Covid period, even those with small babies were conceived during Covid lockdowns,” Kelvin Ndegwa, who co-founded the school with his wife, Elizabeth Muriuki, tells Efe.

The Californian Department of Water Resources has been unleashing up to 100,000 cubic feet of water per second from the heavily damaged spillway at Oroville Dam in a bid to drain Lake Oroville after local authorities determined that uncontrolled flood waters could rush down from the lake due to a severe erosion of one of the Oroville Dam’s emergency spillways. Although authorities have been working round the clock to plug remaining holes, the dam, which is about 70 miles north of Sacramento, is still at extreme risk of flooding. Local authorities supervised the evacuation of almost 200,000 people from Butte, Marysville, and Yuba Counties, which are located downstream from California’s second largest water reservoir.
Thousands of people were evacuated in Oroville, California on Sunday, due to a risky situation caused by a severe erosion of one of the Oroville Dam’s emergency spillways. The city of about 15,000 people, which is about 70 miles north of Sacramento, is considered at extreme risk of flooding. According to authorities, rapid erosion of the structure may cause the dam to collapse, which could result uncontrolled flood waters rushing down from Lake Oroville. The Californian Department of Water Resources has been reportedly unleashing up to 100,000 cubic feet per second from the heavily damaged spillway in a bid to drain Oroville lake. The evacuation order has been expanded to Butte and Yuba Counties, which are located downstream from California’s second largest water reservoir. Up to 188,000 people are affected by the evacuation order.
