Hygiene proves major challenge at new camp
Displaced people in Naivasha are slowly adjusting to living in tents despite numerous problems in a new camp they were moved to last week. More than 2,000 displaced people have been moved from two camps in Naivasha Town to the newly rehabilitated Kedong camp on South Lake Road, about eight kilometres from the town’s centre. Naivasha is currently holding more than 4,000 people, who were victims of post-poll violence that took an ethnic angle and saw at least 30 people hacked and burnt to death in the area. But inadequate water supply and poor sanitation are the major problems haunting the internal displaced. At Kedong, there are 25 toilets and 35 bathrooms serving more than 2,300 people.
