Refugees in Kakuma camp, Turkana, face severe food shortages exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, leading many to seek employment in nearby towns. The UNHCR's current aid is insufficient, pushing refugees like Stephen Tama and Augustine Baraka to find jobs to support their families. The World Food Program has appealed for additional funding to address the crisis. The pandemic has also led to reduced support from humanitarian organizations, further straining the refugees' living conditions.

Residents of a village in Marsabit County, Kenya, are facing a potential outbreak of diseases due to a lack of clean and safe water. They have been dealing with water scarcity for over 20 years and blame the county government for neglect. The scarcity forces them to walk over 10 kilometers in search of water, risking their health and the survival of their livestock. A cholera outbreak is imminent, and over a hundred camels have already died from drinking chemically contaminated water. The county governor, Muhammud Ali, has promised to address the issue after being unaware of the residents' plight. The villagers urgently request government assistance to prevent further livestock losses and safeguard their lives.
