Kenya: Killed & Displaced in their own country
KWF : Reaching those in need!
Kenyans struggle for aides supplies
Humanitarian situation and interventions
Over 500 people have been killed, thousands injured and more than 250,000 displaced after three days of post-electoral violence across Kenya. Flashpoints in the ongoing unrest are the slum areas of Nairobi as well as Eldoret (Rift Valley Province) and Kisumu (Nyanza Province). Coast Province, including the main town of Mombasa, and Western Province have also been affected by violence, looting, burning of houses and reported incidences of rape.
Urgent intervention needed
The most urgent needs are for those remaining in camps in the Rift Valley and Western Kenya. These needs include water, shelter, food and health care. There are also urgent needs in hospitals throughout the country. These include surgical interventions and the identification of the mortal remains of hundreds of unclaimed bodies. Proper identification must be made possible before burial so that eventually, families can find out what happened if a family member is amongst the missing. We will also need to assist the hundreds of families who have been separated by the events, including children who have lost contact with their parents.
