- According to a statement from the Kenya National Police Service released on March 23, 2026, Nairobi was the most affected area by flooding caused by ongoing heavy rains, with 37 deaths reported in the city and a total of 81 fatalities nationwide, along with significant damage across various parts of the country.
Claim
A video circulating online shows flooding with cars being swept away, claiming the footage depicts an incident in Nairobi, Kenya.
Verdict
JamiiCheck’s investigation using Google Reverse Image Search identified the actual location shown in the video as the Odeon building at the intersection of Latema Road and Tom Mboya Street in Nairobi.
Further checks with Google Earth revealed that the real environment of the area does not match the video, as details such as clocks, billboards, and other landmarks are absent in the footage.
In addition, analysis using AI content detection tools indicates that the video was digitally manipulated or generated using AI technology.
