 Due to a private boat capsizing between Madogo and Garissa on Sunday night while transporting an unknown number of individuals, a search and rescue operation is still underway.

Over the inundated portion of the Madogo River, the boat was transporting passengers for a fee. 

The citizen watched a video. The incident's video captured several passengers swimming in the surging seas and others floating atop the overturned boat. 

 On the banks of the rushing torrents, distraught locals could be seen pleading for assistance as others stood defenseless. 

 A different video showed the unfortunate boat transporting passengers over the flooded Tana River; it was swept away by the violent currents before it overturned. Two were stumbling across the turbulent river since the boat was overloaded.

When the boat overturned, the people waiting to be taken along the side of the road looked on helplessly. With the water overtaking them, a few of the boat's occupants attempted to swim amid the violent flooding.

Rescue efforts are still ongoing, according to reports that reached Citizen Digital, and 23 people are still missing from the disaster. In the wake of the widespread, intense rains across the nation, the Tana River has overflowed its banks. 

The fierce floods in Madogo closed off the Garissa-Nairobi highway, which resulted in the tragically booming boat business.
