Here is the latest bulletin from Pastor David Kereto: Dear MEA Prayer Supporters, An outbreak of Malaria, diarrhoea and dysentery has been reported in camps occupied by the violence displaced people in the North Rift and western Kenya. Medics attributed the outbreak, which has mainly affected women and children, to heavy rains which had flooded the camps. According to a medical officer with St John Ambulance, Ms Stella Sakina, the outbreak could be worsened by poor standards of hygiene at the camps in Eldoret, Nakuru, Kakamega, and parts of Nyanza Province. The displaced people have been asked to seek medication as soon as they fall sick. Some volunteer doctors had attended to more than 15,000 children who contracted diseases due to poor sanitation. The situation in refugee camps is inhuman. Efforts are made to treat the sick and supply drugs and blankets to children exposed to rain. The refugee children are leading very miserable lives in camps and malaria, diarrhoea and dysentery had hit almost all camps in the North and Western Kenya region and more help is needed |
