Fact-Check: Do these pictures show livestock killed by floods in Bentiu? No
These pictures showing livestock allegedly killed by floods in Bentiu, Unity State are misleading
By 211 Check Editorial Team
Pictures shared by Bentiu tv, a Facebook page with the caption, “This is how flood kills livestock in Bentiu” are FALSE
Reverse image search of the pictures leads to a story published by the Star Kenya two days ago in which raging water as a result of heavy rains at the slopes of Mt Kilimanjaro in neighbouring Tanzania killed livestock in Kenya’s Taita Taveta county.
Conclusion:
The images do not show livestock killed by floods in Bentiu, Unity State. They instead show livestock killed in Taita Taveta county, Kenya.
