Florence Akoth sits on a boulder for a few seconds and stands up as she unsuccessfully tries to battle a cascade of tears amid loud sobs at the Jaramogi Oginga Odinga Teaching and Referral Hospital Mortuary.

Next to her, other distraught family members are sobbing uncontrollably, eyes red and pale, as they struggle to come to terms with the loss of their loved ones.

Others, mouth agape, speechless with pain written all over their faces.

Akoth is among several families who lost family members in the fatal road accident in Mamboleo, Kisumu, that left 26 people dead and scores fighting for their lives.
