AT LEAST four people sustained gunshot wounds as police clashed with protesters in Kenya’s Kakuma refugee camp, in the country’s north.

Thousands of refugees in the camp, which hosts people fleeing from conflict and drought in neighbouring South Sudan, Ethiopia, Burundi and Congo, protested on Monday against food rationing due to funding constraints.

The World Food Programme (WFP), which is in charge of food distribution at the refugee camp, said last December the food rations to refugee camps were “at 45 per cent of the minimum food basket due to resource constraints.”
