"When a crocodile attacks, it feels like death is certain, she said. As shouting villagers waded into the water, eventually the crocodile let go of Loito's legs, which were now bloody and badly mangled."
"My life has totally changed. I am not able to do anything now, she said."
Ng'ikalei Loito was attacked by a crocodile while swimming in Lake Turkana, resulting in severe injuries to her legs. Villagers rescued her, but medical intervention led to the amputation of both legs due to extensive damage. The rising water levels in Lake Turkana have caused crocodiles to encroach on human settlements, leading to more frequent attacks. Loito, previously a cook and seller of mandazi, now relies on family support for her livelihood after the attack changed her life drastically.
