Resettlement of Displaced Strains Families, Society
The violence following the disputed elections in Kenya killed more than 1,000 people and displaced an estimated 600,000 more. Many of the displaced have been taken in by their extended families but thousands continue to live in camps awaiting resettlement and some of them have nowhere to go. VOA’s Scott Bobb visited such a camp in Kisumu, western Kenya, and has this report.

Meanwhile, adults chat on plastic chairs under a nearby canopy.
