Kenyan authorities and the United Nations Refugee Agency have been asked to urgently start a vaccination campaign in the Dadaab refugee camp to curb looming cholera and measles outbreaks after several cases of the diseases were recorded.
Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) — Doctors Without Borders — also urged the authorities to increase humanitarian support due to an influx of refugees fleeing Somalia into northern Kenya due to drought. The Horn of Africa is grappling with the worst drought in decades as a result of six consecutive seasons without any rainfall.
