Baby was born on the way to the hospital


rs. This child was born on the way to the hospital. Without our intervention the child would have died. His skin was blue and his respiratory ways were blocked. Our team saved him in the last minute. The respiratory tubes were cleaned and then immediately oxygen had been given. The mother and baby soon recovered and already in the afternoon they could go home... Outside the hospital another future mother is waiting until the time is ripe:


In Nakuru the situation is still dangerous. Yesterday a large group of refugees from the showground marched towards the city but was stopped by the police with guns and one boy was killed. Again this morning masses of people were aiming at the city center to protest because the Government stopped their food supply and wants them to go home. Many of them don't know where to go; they don't have a home anymore.
