MORE HEARTACHE FOR THE INTERNALLY DISPLACED PEOPLE - IDPs

Almost 200 families in an ADP camp in Gilgil were left homeless after a fire gutted their dwellings. The structures that were made up of polythene bags, sticks, canvas and grass were burnt to ashes as the owners watched hopelessly. Personal effects and foodstuffs were destroyed during the inferno that spread fast through the structures due to strong wind.
Jumping from the hot fire into the frying pan, they had just received food and cloth donations from a nearby church which were all brought down to ashes by the fire.
The camp chairman was so sad and urged the IDPs who had lost their hope and wanted to leave the earth to calm down for the government had to transfer them again.
