The number of missing persons currently stands at 90.
A total of 33,100 households have been displaced affecting approximately 165,500 people.
The total number of schools affected by the heavy rains stands at 1,967.
The ministry said that at least 115 camps have been set up across 19 counties. The camps are hosting over 27,586 people.

On Thursday, Interior CS Kithure Kindiki urged residents living in high-risk areas to move vacate voluntarily.
He said the government would start mandatory evacuations after 24 hours.
He said the evacuations will be conducted strictly between 6 am to 6.30 pm.
"Mandatory evacuation of affected persons shall be carried out strictly between 0600 hours and 1830 hours, and, for the avoidance of doubt, no mandatory evacuation shall be carried out at night."
Kindiki said high-risk areas include areas prone to landslides or mudslides, settlements close to filled up public or private dams or other water reservoirs, and settlements within riparian land along rivers and other water courses.
He said such areas have recorded the most human fatalities, destruction of family and business premises, death of livestock and destruction of crops.
The Interior CS said the government has put in place adequate measures to provide temporary shelter as well as food and non-food essential supplies to all those that will be affected by the orders.
Kindiki noted that even as the government continues to upscale its interventions to mitigate the effects of the ongoing torrential rains, weather forecast reports indicate that the rains will persist in intensity and duration.
