The survivors were found at Bamburi Beach after what appears to have been a prolonged drift at sea.

The rescue comes as Mombasa continues to experience heavy rains, flooding, and strong winds, which have also caused widespread destruction across infrastructure, homes, and public facilities.

Authorities have urged residents and maritime operators to exercise caution as adverse weather conditions are expected to persist.
