Crowds of people came for the food distribution

sh. The internet connection came back to live, so here is the latest. Yesterday morning masses of people gathered in front of the gate because they heard from the big food delivery brought by the WFP (World Food Program) and the Kenyan Red Cross in Nakuru. Mama Matata had the situation in full control using a new system to handle the large amount of refugees. Only groups of 20 persons were allowed to come in. It took us 7 hours to give out the food portions. After the main work of the day the hospital crew took a moment to discuss further improvements in the camp.
