The population is still suffering

rs. In Kenya the situation is still very tense. It's not so easy to send news so we bring informations whenever possible. We have still a nationwide famine and the government is not active enough. There is also a lack of international aid. For the lastt 2 months, many people in the camps have no clean drinking water and the refugees are desperate. We continue with our medical help. Unfortunately food is getting short and the last available corn is so expensive that nobody can afford it. The government sold the corn to Sudan and our population is suffering. This week we try to bring some containers with fresh drinking water from our water station to the suffering population in the camps.
